  3. In a large bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually combine the dry mixture with the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  6. Mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl for the filling.
