Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Baking Pan
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cream of tartar
  • 0.5 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 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). Grease or line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and salt.
  • In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy—about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just combined.
  • Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
  • Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top generously.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool before slicing into bars.

Notes

Store cooled bars in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
