Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x13-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
  4. Gradually combine the dry flour mixture with the creamed butter mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  5. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the additional brown sugar and cinnamon for the swirl.
  7. Spread half of the batter in the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mix, then dollop the remaining batter on top.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then whisk together the glaze ingredients until smooth.
  10. Frost the cooled bars generously and cut into squares for serving.
