- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened but still cool
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar

Notes
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Make Cinnamon Sugar Filling: Combine all filling ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Make Cookie Dough: Cream together butter and sugar until light and creamy. Beat in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. In a separate bowl, whisk together dry ingredients. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.
- Layer Dough and Filling: Divide dough in half. Spread half in the bottom of the bowl, top with half of the cinnamon sugar mixture, then add the remaining dough and cinnamon sugar in layers.
- Fold and Scoop: Gently fold the dough and cinnamon sugar together a few times. Scoop dough into 2-tablespoon portions using a cookie scoop.
- Chill: Freeze dough balls for 10 minutes to prevent spreading.
- Bake: Arrange dough balls on prepared baking sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Cool: Let cookies cool completely on baking sheets before serving.
