Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease and/or line a 9 x 13 inch pan.

Combine the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt and set aside.

In large bowl, beat together butter and brown sugar for 3-5 minutes. Add in the eggs one at a time, then the vanilla, and beat until smooth. (Using a stand mixer makes this recipe a snap)

Slowly add in the flour mixture until well blended. Spread evenly in prepared pan (mixture will be somewhat cookiebatter-ish, so it's best to spread it out with a greased spatula or your hands -- I just spray a spatula with cooking spray).

Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon, in a little bowl. Evenly sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture over the top of the batter.

Bake 25-30 minutes or until surface springs back when gently pressed. Cool before cutting. Makes 20-24 bars (depending on the size you cut them of course)
