Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup softened unsalted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Sugars

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven – Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 9×13 inch baking pan by greasing it or lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bars.
  2. Cream the butter and sugars – In a large mixing bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, creating a smooth base for your dough.
  3. Add eggs and vanilla – Incorporate the eggs one at a time, beating well after each to ensure they are fully mixed. Stir in the vanilla extract for flavor.
  4. Combine dry ingredients – In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt to evenly distribute the leavening and seasoning agents.
  5. Mix dry into wet – Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid toughening the dough and to keep the bars soft.
  6. Spread dough in pan – Evenly spread the thick dough into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula for uniform thickness.
  7. Prepare topping and sprinkle – Mix the cinnamon and 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar together, then sprinkle evenly over the top of the dough in the pan to get that signature sweet cinnamon crust.
  8. Bake – Place the pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until the edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating the bars are cooked through.
  9. Cool and serve – Allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes to set before slicing into squares and serving for the perfect chewy treat.

Notes

  • Avoid overmixing the dough to keep the bars soft and chewy.
  • Check the bars near the end of baking to prevent overbaking and drying out.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and clean-up.
  • Ensure butter is softened but not melted for proper creaming with sugars.
