Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together 1 cup of softened butter, ¾ cup of brown sugar, and ½ cup of granulated sugar until creamy.
- Add 2 room-temperature eggs, ½ cup of sour cream, and 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, ½ teaspoon of baking soda, 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth it out evenly.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar with an additional teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and sprinkle it over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, about 15-20 minutes.
- In a bowl, mix 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth to make the frosting.
- Spread the frosting over the cooled bars, slice, and serve.

Notes
For best results, ensure ingredients are at room temperature and avoid overmixing to maintain the bars' chewy texture.
