6 Tablespoons butter melted
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar tightly packed
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¾ cup unsalted butter (softened to room temperature)

2-3 teaspoons milk

Steps:

  • Add eggs, stirring well after each addition, and then add sour cream and vanilla extract and stir well.
