Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Wet Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2 large eggs

Icing

½ cup powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan to ensure the bars don’t stick.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
Cream Butter and Eggs: In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. Then, beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Mix Batter: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet butter and egg mixture, stirring gently until just combined to avoid overmixing which can cause tough bars.
Bake the Bars: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the surface. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Prepare the Icing: While the bars are cooling slightly, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Glaze the Bars: Drizzle the icing evenly over the warm bars to create a sweet, glossy finish. Allow the glaze to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

Make sure your butter is softened, not melted, for best creaming results.
Do not overmix the batter to keep the bars tender and fluffy.
The icing can be adjusted in thickness by adding more powdered sugar or milk according to preference.
These bars are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
If desired, add walnuts or pecans to the batter for added texture and flavor.
