   Place the softened butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract into a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar on medium speed for 1 minute, or until pale and fluffy. Add the egg and continue to beat on medium speed for 30 seconds to one minute, until light and fluffy.

   Add the flour, graham cracker crumbs, corn starch, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the bowl. Beat the mixture on medium speed for about 1 minute, until all ingredients are combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula, as needed.

9. 9
   Return the baking pan to the middle rack of the oven.
