  2. Cream together 1 cup of unsalted butter with 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract; beat until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of cornstarch, and 2 cups of all-purpose flour. Gradually add to the wet ingredients.
