Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare an 8 x 8-inch baking pan by spraying it lightly with non-stick spray, lining it with parchment paper so that the paper slightly overhangs, and spraying lightly again; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine melted butter, egg, ½ cup granulated sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla, and stir or whisk until smooth.
Add flour, cream of tartar, andl salt; stir until just combined.
Scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing the top; set aside.
In the same bowl, combine ¼ cup sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar evenly over the top of the dough.
Bake 24 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs.
Place pan on wire rack to cool for at least 15 minutes. Lift bars out of pan using parchment paper, and cut into 16 servings.
