Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (topping)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth.
- Add in the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
- Stir in the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan—dampen your fingers or use a spatula to press it flat.
- In a small bowl, mix the topping sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle it evenly over the dough.
- Bake for 25–28 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- For extra chewiness, slightly underbake the bars.
- Double the cinnamon-sugar topping for a stronger flavor.
