1 c butter
3/4 c brown sugar
3 tsp cinnamon (I like using the Ceylon cinnamon for this if you can get it)
1/2 tsp vanilla powder (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
sprinkling of nutmeg
2 c flour
Cream the butter. Add the sugar and blend well. Sift dry ingredients together. Mix into butter/sugar, at low speed. The result will tend to be crumbly. Press evenly into a lightly greased 9x13 pan.
Bake at 350 F for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden at edges.
Allow to cool for 10 or 15 minutes, then score deeply into squares or diamonds approximately 1 to 1.5 inches across using a sharp thin knife. Cut apart when completely cool. The problem with not scoring it while still warm will be that it will crumble and make messy edges when completely cool.
Store in a sealed container, if your family allows you to get that far.
