Description
Delicious and nostalgic cinnamon roll cookie bars that are perfect for sharing and bring the warmth of home-baked goodies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- Whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar until well combined.
- Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined. You want the dough to be soft and slightly sticky.
- Press the cookie dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, smoothing it out with the back of a spatula.
- Mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture generously over the cookie layer.
- Using a knife, gently swirl the cinnamon mixture into the cookie dough for a marble effect.
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and starting to crack.
- Allow the cookie bars to cool in the pan before drizzling with icing made from powdered sugar and milk. Once cooled, cut into bars and serve!
Notes
These cookie bars can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container to keep soft. Experiment by adding nuts or chocolate drizzle for a twist!
