Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a large rimmed baking sheet; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat the 3/4 cup softened butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar and baking soda. Beat until fluffy. Add eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla; beat on low speed until combined. Add flour. Beat until combined.

In a small mixing bowl, stir together confectioners’ sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, the remaining 1 teaspoon vanilla and enough milk to reach drizzling consistency. Drizzle over the cooled bars.
