Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.3 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.75 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1.5 tablespoons brewed coffee (for glaze)
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition. Then mix in the vanilla extract and brewed coffee.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until fully combined. Avoid overmixing.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
While the bars are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and brewed coffee until smooth and pourable.
Once the bars are cool, drizzle the glaze over the top. Optionally, sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before slicing the bars into squares or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!
