Ingredients

• 1/2 lb unsalted butter, at room temperature plus more for the pan
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup grapeseed or other neutral oil
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 3 cups all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the oven to 350. Grease a 9x13 baking pan.

2. Combine the butter and sugar in a mixer with paddle and cream on high until homogenous, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, oil, and vanilla and mix until just combined, about 1 minutes.

3. Add the flour, salt, and baking soda, mixing until just combined, about 30 seconds. Mix in the milk until just combined, about 30 seconds.

4. Spread the dough in an even layer in the prepared pan. Mix together the sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and sprinkle evenly over the cookie dough.

5. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes for a slightly under-baked cookie. Cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares.
