Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 tablespoons cinnamon, for sprinkling
- ½ cup brown sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper, making sure to leave some extra paper hanging over the edges for easy lifting later.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and smooth.
- Add the eggs one by one, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract until fully blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, cream of tartar, and baking soda until everything is evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, stirring just until the dough comes together.
- Evenly spread the prepared dough into the baking pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, then sprinkle it evenly over the baked bars.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares.
