Ingredients

Scale

Cookies:

  • 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. Cookies: Add the butter sugar, and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer, or hand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes. Add the vanilla and eggs and beat for another 1-2 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  2. Chill Dough: Whisk the dry ingredients in a separate medium bowl until combined. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat on medium speed until combined, 1-2 minutes, stopping to scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed. Cover and chill the dough for one hour.
  3. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  4. Make Filling: Add the filling ingredients to a medium bowl and stir until smooth. Use a heaping teaspoon to scoop the filling out and roll it into a ball and place it on the baking sheet.
  5. Assemble Cookies: Scoop the chilled dough out using 1/4 cup measuring cup. Break the dough in half and create a well in the middle of one half. Place one ball of filling inside the well and press the other half on top of the filling and pinch the seams. Roll them into a ball to seal the filling inside.
  6. Bake: Arrange the cookie dough balls on the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Bake for 11-13 minutes, until set. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Ice: Make the icing by whisking together all of the icing ingredients until smooth. Spoon the icing on top of each cookie, letting it spread to the edges. Allow it to set for 15 minutes before serving.

Notes
