Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 10 "x 15" jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Spray sides of pan with cooking spray.Note: You can also use a 12" x 17" half sheet pan for a slightly shorter bar that is about ¾" thick after baking, which is what I have shown in the images above. Cream together butter and white sugar in an electric mixer or large mixing bowl. Add eggs and mix well.
Sift together flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly add dry ingredients to mixer. Blend pumpkin puree into batter.
Pour batter into prepared jelly roll pan. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
While the bars bake, make the cream cheese frosting.
Cream Cheese Frosting
In a stand mixer or a large bowl with a hand mixer, blend together cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract.
Slowly begin adding powdered sugar and blend well. Slowly begin adding powdered sugar and blend well. If too thick, add 1 tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency.
Spread cream cheese frosting over cooled bars evenly. Slice before serving. Store in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days or freeze for up to 3 months for best quality.
