Ingredients

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup white sugar
  • ¼ cup firmly packed brown sugar
  • 1 large egg, at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, divided
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line an 8×8-inch square pan with enough parchment paper to have overhang on all sides.

Step 2
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.

Step 3
Place dough into prepared pan. Using lightly floured hands, press dough firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan.

Step 4
In a small bowl, mix together 1 tablespoon white sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle evenly over the dough.

Step 5
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.

Step 6
Allow cookies to cool in pan for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely. Cut into 16 bars.

    It’s good I think it’s missing something. Instead of cream of tar tar I did 1 tsp lemon juice

    So easy and quick to make! Taste super good when warm and when cooled down! I put some vanilla ice cream on top of mine and it was great but tastes so good plain too! Perfect amount also (coming from a family of 5)

    May be my fault for crumbly texture:
    I substituted the 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour for 1 1/8 gluten free flour blend which tends to need more liquid to set properly, I also seem to always forget cream of tartar when I’m at the store so I used 3/4 tsp baking powder instead of 1/2 tsp of cream of tartar. They came out beautifully. I will probs omit the nutmeg in the future due to the earthy flavor in the gluten free flour, but if I use regular flour I will keep it in. Also will use 1/4-1/8 tsp cinnamon to the tbsp of sugar for on top for it is a bit overpowering for someone who doesn’t like spicy cinnamon. Overall great recipe.

    These turned out great. I?ll use a little more cream of tartar next time and a little more of the spices.

    So yummy! Now I will say not overcooking is key! I made them but overcooked them a bit, they were good but more bread like. My 13 yr old son still loved them so he made them tonight but did not over cook. They have a brownie like chew and are DIVINE! if you like snickerdoodles and brownies, this is a winner! Delicious ??
