Instructions
- Prepare. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Also, prep a square baking dish for nonstick. Lining the baking dish with parchment paper can work in this recipe.
- Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, use a whisk to combined together the flour and baking powder.
- Beat. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter with the sugar alternative on medium speed until creamy and combined (about two minutes). Then add the eggs one at a time, stopping to gently mix between additions.
- Combine. Scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl and then set the mixer speed on low. Gradually add the dry ingredients from the second step and mix until just combined.
- Filling. In a clean mixing bowl, use a rubber spatula or wooden spoon to stir together the softened butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until combined.
- Layer. Use your hands to press about half of the shortbread dough into the bottom of your prepared baking dish. Use a large spoon to evenly spread the filling from the last step over the shortbread layer. Lastly, crumble the remaining shortbread dough over the filling.
- Bake. Bake the bars until the crumble top begins to turn golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Set. Allow the bars to fully set before cutting into servings.
