Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add in the eggs, sour cream, and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix on medium speed until creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring gently.
  5. Spread the batter evenly into the greased baking pan, ensuring the edges are level.
  6. Mix together granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the topping and sprinkle generously over the batter.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until lightly golden edges appear, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before frosting.
  9. Prepare frosting by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth; drizzle over cooled bars.
  10. Slice the bars into squares or rectangles for serving.
