Ingredients
16 servings
- •0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- •0.5 cup white sugar
- •0.25 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- •1 large egg, at room temperature
- •2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- •1.25 cups all-purpose flour
- •0.5 teaspoon cream of tartar
- •0.5 teaspoon baking soda
- •0.5 teaspoon salt
- •0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
- •0.13 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- •1 tablespoon white sugar
- •0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8x8-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.
- Cream together butter, 1/2 cup white sugar, and brown sugar in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla until thoroughly combined. Add in flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, salt, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg, and mix until a dough just begins to form.
- Place dough into prepared pan. Using lightly floured hands, press dough firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan.
- In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.
- Place pan into the preheated oven, and bake just until the dough in the center of the pan feels barely set, 20 to 23 minutes. Do not over bake.
- Allow cookies to cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 16 bars.
