Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking dish with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring gently with a spatula until fully incorporated. Do not overmix.
  5. In a small bowl, mix 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon for the topping.
  6. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture generously over the top.
  7. Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the bars cool in the pan for at least 15 minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For extra gooey bars, remove them from the oven when the center is slightly soft—it will firm up as they cool. Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and perfect slicing.
