Ingredients
Scale
For the Cookie Bars
- 2 1/4 cups (293g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (224g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups (310g) sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Cinnamon Sugar Mixture
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a 9×13 inch cake pan with non-stick baking spray and parchment paper that hangs over the sides, which you’ll use to lift the bars out of the ban after baking. Set aside.
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk together until well combined.
- Add the dry ingredients and mix together until just well combined. I usually start out with the whisk and then finish gently stirring it at the end with a rubber spatula, but you could also use a mixer. Set aside.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar mixture, and sprinkle half of it evenly over the bottom of the pan.
- Drop bits of the cookie dough evenly over the cinnamon sugar, so that it covers the bottom of the pan pretty evenly. Press it into an even layer. This works better to keep the cinnamon sugar in place than just dropping the dough all in the center of the pan and spreading it.
- Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the top of the cookie dough.
- Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the top is a little puffy.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool completely in the pan. Use the parchment paper overhang on the sides to remove the bars from the pan, cut into bars, then serve.
- Store leftovers in an air tight container at room temperature for up to about 4-5 days.
