Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Line an 8 x 8 or 9 x 9 baking dish with parchment paper. Use the butter wrappers to grease the parchment paper. Set aside.
- To a bowl add the butter and sugars. Mix with a stand mixer or hand mixer over medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Add the eggs and vanilla to the bowl. Mix with the stand mixer or hand mixer until combined. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl add the rest of the bars' ingredients. Mix with a whisk or fork until combined.
- Transfer the flour mixture to the wet ingredients. Use a spoon to mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the bar mixture to the baking dish.
- Bake for 25 to 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out almost clean. A few crumbs or a little bit of batter are OK. The center will be soft.
- If the top gets too brown you can lightly add aluminum foil to the top.
- Transfer the bars from your baking dish to a cooling rack.
- Allow the bars to cool for at least 1 hour or until completely cool before topping with the frosting.
- To a bowl add the cream cheese frosting ingredients. Mix with a hand mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes or until fluffy.
- Transfer the frosting to the bars. Evenly spread the frosting.
- Cut into bars.
Notes
- Cool completely: Ensure the bars have cooled completely before adding the frosting. Otherwise, it will melt and slide off the top.
- Don’t overbake: Some crumbs on the toothpick are fine. If you bake the bars too long, they will become dry and crumbly.
- Skip the frosting: The frosting is optional! Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top if you prefer a more classic snickerdoodle look.
