Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 16 oz cream cheese, softened

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined.
  5. Press two-thirds of the dough into the prepared pan to form the base.

  7. Crumble the remaining dough over the cream cheese layer and sprinkle with cinnamon.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely before cutting into bars.
