Ingredients:

For the Bars:

For the Glaze:

• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2. Make the Dough:
   • In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
   • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
   • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.
4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:
   • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
5. Bake:
   • Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
   • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bars are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Prepare the Glaze:
   • While the bars are baking, mix together the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
7. Glaze the Bars:
   • Once the bars are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool for about 10 minutes.
   • Drizzle the glaze over the warm bars, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
8. Cool and Serve:
   • Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before cutting them into squares.

These glazed cinnamon bars make a delightful treat with a perfect blend of sweetness and spice. Enjoy!
