Ingredients
  

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup butter (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • 2½ tsp vanilla extract
Topping
  • 4 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1½ tbsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Take a bowl and combine 4 tablespoons of sugar with cinnamon to create the topping. Set this mixture aside for later use.
  3. In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the granulated and brown sugars until well combined. Add the butter and mix until a grainy mixture forms. Then, add the eggs and vanilla, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes fluffy. Gradually add the flour mixture to the bowl and blend at low speed, ensuring it is just combined. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
