Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brown sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dry Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream the Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time while mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture. Mix on low speed until just combined.
- Chill the Dough: Once formed, divide the dough into two equal portions. Shape each into a disk, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Make the Filling: Combine brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Mix well until evenly distributed.
- Preheat Oven & Roll Dough: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the chilled dough to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut Rectangles of Dough: Cut the rolled-out dough into rectangles measuring approximately 3×4 inches.
- Assemble Cookies: Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of one rectangle, top with another rectangle, and press edges together to seal.
- Bake Cookies: Brush tops with milk, place on prepared baking sheets, and bake for 12-15 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
- Cool & Icing: Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks. Whisk together powdered sugar with milk until smooth and drizzle over cooled cookies.
