Instructions
Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

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

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.
