16 servings
Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs
1 cup plus ¼ cup granulated sugar, divided
⅔ cup packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8×2-inch baking pan with foil, leaving about 1 inch of the foil extending over the edges of the pan. Grease foil; set pan aside.
In a medium bowl, stir together flour, cream of tartar and salt. Set aside. In another medium bowl, whisk together butter, eggs, 1 cup granulated sugar, brown sugar and vanilla until smooth. Stir in flour mixture until just combined.
Pour batter evenly in the prepared pan. For the topping, in a small bowl combine remaining ¼ cup granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle on top of batter.
Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Use foil to lift uncut bars out of pan. Cut into bars.
