Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a slight overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy using an electric mixer, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
While the bars are baking, combine the powdered sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping in a small bowl.
Once the bars are out of the oven, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top while they are still warm.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before lifting them out using the parchment paper overhang.
Cut into 12 equal pieces and serve. Enjoy your Cinnamon Cookie Bars!
