Cinnamon Roll Shortbread Bars
  1. Oven & tin: Preheat to 180°C / Fan 160°C / Gas Mark 4. Line a 20cm × 20cm square tin with baking parchment.

  2. Crust: Beat butter + caster sugar until pale and fluffy (2–3 mins). Stir in vanilla. Add plain flour + salt; mix only until just combined. Press evenly into the tin, prick all over with a fork. Bake 15 minutes until pale golden.

  3. Filling: While crust bakes, beat butter, brown sugar, cinnamon + vanilla to a smooth paste. Spread evenly over the hot crust. Return to oven for 15–18 mins more until edges are golden. Leave to cool completely in the tin.

  4. Frosting: Beat cream cheese + butter until smooth. Gradually beat in icing sugar, then vanilla. Spread over cold bars. Sprinkle with demerara sugar. Chill 30 mins, then cut into squares.

  5. Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days
