Cinnamon Roll Bars (Crack on a Plate!)

Hey there!  How are you all doing?  It is just me or does it feel like it's been since Christmas that I've been on here?  Oh yeah...that's because it has! Well...I'm happy to report that I'm back in action and raring to go!  I'll have a little help here and there as our girls take an occasional stab at writing posts here. One girlie bakes like crazy and the other one writes like a beast so it should be a nice collaboration.

I thought I'd start our new season with a recipe that our oldest daughter, Rebekah, created. It's amazing!  You can serve it for dessert or even for breakfast. Or eat it just because.  It's so good we call it Crack on a Plate. Yes it's that good! The first time Rebekah made it I couldn't believe she had just whipped it up with no recipe. I may or may not have snuck an extra piece and when the kids were in bed I may or may not have stared longingly with puppy dog eyes because I had given up evening snacking for Lent. (That night I thanked the Lord a lot for His sacrifice!)

Well. No more lollygagging... here it is!


Cinnamon Roll Bars

Dough:
2 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 1/2 c. brown sugar
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. (2 sticks) salted butter, softened

Filling:
3/4 c. sugar
5 t. cinnamon

Glaze:
1/4 c. milk
1 to 1-1/2 c. powdered sugar

Cream butter, brown sugar, and vanilla until combined; add eggs. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and salt with a fork. Slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture until combined. In a small bowl mix cinnamon and sugar.  Spread half of the dough in an ungreased 9x13 inch pan. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the dough. With the remaining dough drop small spoonfuls in even spacing on top of the cinnamon sugar mixture.  Spread out the dough over the top. (It's ok that some of the filling will be seen through the top.)

Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Cool bars most of the way. In a small bowl add milk to powdered sugar until blended to desired consistency. Drizzle glaze over the bars, cut and serve. Enjoy!

I made these this morning. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to add the glaze as when I returned to the kitchen they were half eaten!
