Ingredients

• ½ cup coconut oil, melted and cool (can substitute the same amount of unsalted butter, melted and cooled for a traditional option)
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• ¼ teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 large egg
• ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

Cinnamon-Sugar Topping

• 3 tablespoons granulated white sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground Saigon cinnamon

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Grease and line an 8 x 8-inch square baking pan with a sheet of parchment paper long enough so that the flaps fold down the sides of the pan.
3. Combine the 3 tablespoons of sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl, and set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, beat coconut oil, 1 cup sugar, baking soda, and cream of tartar, scraping down the sides of the bowl, as needed. Add egg and vanilla extract and beat until combined. Add flour in gradually, scraping down the sides as needed. The dough will be sticky and you might need to stir in the remaining flour. 
5. Press the dough into the prepared baking pan, and sprinkle the top evenly with the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake for 10-12 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the middle, the knife should come out clean. When it's done, allow cooling for 5-10 minutes in the pan. You can transfer it to a wire rack using the parchment paper to pull it out of the baking pan. Cut into 9 squares (or smaller). Enjoy!
