Ingredients

  • 2 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ¼ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter softened (I used Challenge Butter)
  • 1 ¼ cups granulated sugar
  • ½ cup packed light brown sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the Filling
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon homemade pumpkin pie spice
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar sifted
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons milk
  • ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 1. Preheat oven to 350° F. Line the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper or spray the pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. 2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  3. 3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat butter on medium speed for about 2 minutes. Add in sugars and beat for an additional 2 minutes. Add in eggs and vanilla and mix until thoroughly combined. Turn the mixer to low speed and gradually add in dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  4. 4. Spoon half the batter into pan and use an offset spatula to spread evenly. In a small bowl, stir together the sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Sprinkle the pumpkin pie spice mixture evenly over batter.
  5. 5. Spoon teaspoon size amounts of remaining batter evenly over pumpkin pie spice mixture.
  6. 6. Bake in preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden brown and toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool completely.
  7. 7. In small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla until smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze over the bars.

Notes

  • Bars will store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • If you do not have pumpkin pie spice, simply sub in one tablespoon of cinnamon.
