SNICKERDOODLE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray and line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides for lifting out the finished bars.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a large bowl with a handheld mixer), cream the butter with 1 cup of the granulated sugar and all of the brown sugar until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Scrape the bowl well with a rubber spatula, then add the eggs one at a time and mix on medium speed after each addition until well combined. Beat in the vanilla.
• Add the flour, baking powder and salt and pulse until they start to combine, then scrape the bowl well and mix on low speed until the dough is uniformly combined.
• Scoop the dough into the prepared pan and press into an even layer. Stir the remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar with the cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar evenly over the bars.
• Bake until the edges are golden and the center is set, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let cool completely in the pan, then run a small spatula around the edge. Use the parchment overhang to carefully lift the bars out of the pan. Cut into 16 equal bars.
