Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a rubber spatula, until no streaks of flour remain; be careful not to overmix.
- Press half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan, about ½ inch thick, building a slight lip around the edges.
- Warm the salted caramel sauce slightly if needed, then spread it evenly over the cookie dough layer. Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt flakes over the caramel.
- Crumble the remaining dough over the caramel layer, covering as much as possible.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center looks set but still soft.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract until smooth and drizzle-able.
- Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the cooled bars and let set for 10 minutes before slicing into 12 bars.
