Brown Sugar Cookie Bars
Description
The Brown Sugar Cookie Bars start with melted butter combined with packed brown sugar, which provides moistness and rich, caramel flavor. Lightly beaten egg is incorporated gradually to temper it with the warm sugar. The dry ingredients—flour, baking powder, and cinnamon—are sifted in to achieve an even texture. Vanilla extract is added last to enhance the sweetness.
Baked in a greased 8x8 pan at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, the bars set with edges firm but a slightly gooey interior, especially if allowed to cool a few minutes before cutting. This texture works well for serving as a handheld dessert or snack.
These bars can be lined in foil for easier removal but should still be cooled briefly to set properly before slicing.
