Ingredients (serves 12):

For the bars:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the topping:

- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Cooking tips:

- Make sure your butter is softened before starting the recipe. This will make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- Use a stand mixer or hand mixer to make the dough. This will ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the bars hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Divide the dough into two equal portions. Press one portion into the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon for the topping. Sprinkle half of the mixture over the dough in the pan.
7. Press the remaining dough on top of the cinnamon sugar layer. Sprinkle the remaining cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown and set in the center.
9. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing and serving.
