Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Raisins
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup Packed brown sugar
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
In a small saucepan, combine the raisins and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes until the raisins are plump. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the raisins and any remaining liquid from the saucepan.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bars cool completely in the dish before frosting.
To make the frosting, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth and spreadable.
Spread the frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
Cut into 16 squares or bars and serve.
