- 1 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 2 Large Eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 3 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 8 oz Full-fat Cream Cheese, softened
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar (Confectioners' Sugar), sifted
- 2 tablespoons Milk or Cream
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides. Lightly grease the parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Press the bar dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until it forms a thick mixture. Dollop this mixture over the top of the bar dough.
- Using a knife or skewer, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the bar dough, aiming for distinct swirls.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before frosting.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and softened unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add the sifted powdered sugar, mixing until combined, then beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Once the bars are completely cool, spread the cream cheese frosting generously over the top. Use the parchment paper overhangs to lift the frosted slab out of the pan and cut into squares or rectangles.
