CMD DOS Running DIR command in order to find a specific file extension

I would like to list only XML files from the folder "C:\Test\Path" and save the results to a text file.

However, the following command lists all files from the folder and not only the XML files:

cmd /c dir "C:\Test\Path" /s /b *.xml> c:\Test\RunDIROnXMLFolder11.txt

the proper syntax is: 

cmd /c dir /s /b "C:\Test\Path\*.xml" > c:\Test\RunDIROnXMLFolder11.txt

(/s and /b may be before or after the filespecification, but this should be 

<drive>:\<path>\<filespec>
