Ingredients
- 2 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour

- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
- 2 cups packed light brown sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter room temperature
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 9 X 13-inch baking dish by spraying it lightly with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy. This should take about 5 minutes.

- Individually add the eggs until well mixed. Add the vanilla and be sure to scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl before going on.
- With the mixer on low, gradually add the flour mixture until just combined. Be careful not to over mix as the bars could be too dense when baked.
- Scrape the sides of the bowl and make sure that all of the flour has been mixed in on the bottom.
- Put dough into prepared baking dish and with an offset spatula, spread evenly.
- In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle it evenly over the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until surface springs back when touched lightly.
- Cool completely before cutting.
