Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter a 9x13 in. baking pan, and line with parchment paper (for easy removal). Set aside. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar. Add eggs and extracts and beat until smooth. Add flour mixture and mix until thoroughly combined. Transfer dough into prepared baking pan and press into an even layer. In another small bowl, make cinnamon filling. Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until well combined. Drop cinnamon topping over top of batter and spread evenly over the batter. You can even make a swirl if you’d like! Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Do not over bake. Let cool for a minimum of 15 minutes or completely. Then slice into squares. For cream cheese icing, use a small bowl and whisk together cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth. Drizzle on bars when ready to serve.
