Equipment

  • 8x8-inch Baking Pan
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Hand Mixer

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened (room temperature)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare an 8×8 inch baking pan by greasing it lightly or lining it with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt until well combined.
  • In another large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  • Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Sprinkle the top evenly with cinnamon sugar.
  • Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before slicing into bars.
