In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the top of the bars.

Variations & Tips
For a gluten-free version, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. If you're a chocolate lover, try adding a handful of mini chocolate chips to the cream cheese layer for a fun twist. You can also experiment with different spices, such as nutmeg or cardamom, to add a unique flavor profile. For those who prefer a less sweet treat, reduce the sugar in the cream cheese layer by a quarter.
