Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 3/4 cups cake flour
  • 2 Tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt

Filling:

  • 5 Tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 Tablespoon cake flour

Icing:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 Tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 2 1/2 Tablespoon milk

Instructions

  1. Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs and vanilla, beating until well combined.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the cake flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. Chill the dough.
  3. Prepare Filling: Mix softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cake flour in a bowl to create the filling.
  4. Assemble Cookies: Scoop chilled dough and form into balls. Make a well in the dough, add filling, then seal with another piece of dough. Roll into balls and place on baking sheets.
  5. Bake: Bake the cookies until set and golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
  6. Make Icing: Whisk together powdered sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and milk to create the icing. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes

  • For a fun variation, you can add sprinkles on top of the icing before it sets.
  • These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
