1 . Lightly coat a 9-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper; reserve .

2 . Put the butter and sugars into the work bowl of a Cuisinart® food processor fitted with the chopping blade . Process until creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed . Add the remaining crust ingredients and pulse until combined .

3 . Transfer the crust mixture into the prepared pan and press down firmly to pack into the bottom of the pan . Chill in refrigerator until firm .

4 . While the crust is chilling, prepare the filling . Put the sugars, starch, salt, and spices in a small mixing bowl; whisk to combine .
