Ingredients

Instructions

Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 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
  • 1 ¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

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.
