How to Make Cinnamon Roll Cookie Bars

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. In a separate bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Stir in the chopped pecans (optional).
  8. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish.
  9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  11. **Frosting:** In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth.
  12. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until light and fluffy.
  13. Spread frosting evenly over the cooled bars.
  14. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar using a sieve for a light dusting.
  15. Cut into squares and serve. Store chilled to maintain frosting consistency.
