Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 9x13 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. Add cold, cubed unsalted butter to the flour mixture, cutting it in until it resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix buttermilk and vanilla extract. Pour it into the dry ingredients, stirring gently.
  5. Transfer the dough into your lined baking pan and press it evenly across the bottom.
  6. Drizzle melted butter over the pressed base and sprinkle the packed brown sugar mixed with ground cinnamon on top.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are golden brown.
  8. Let the bars cool completely in the pan.
  9. Prepare frosting by beating softened cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar and milk.
  10. Spread the cream cheese frosting generously across the cooled bars.
  11. Cut the bars into squares and serve warm or at room temperature.
