Ingredients

Scale

2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup (220g) brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (plus extra for dusting)
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease or line a 9×13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, beat softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 minutes).
Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then stir in vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in dry ingredients until just combined.
Spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
Mix 2 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon, then sprinkle evenly over batter.
Bake 20–25 minutes until edges are golden and a toothpick comes out clean or with moist crumbs.
Cool 10–15 minutes on a wire rack, then cut into squares and serve.

Notes

Avoid overmixing for the best chewy texture. Store bars in an airtight container for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
