Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar (plus an extra cup for filling)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk (for dough)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- Optional: sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition; then mix in the vanilla extract.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually fold this into the wet mixture until combined.
- Divide the dough into two portions. Roll out each portion to about 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface.
- Cut into rectangles measuring approximately 3 by 4 inches.
- For the filling, mix together the additional brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Place one rectangle on a parchment-lined baking sheet, scoop about one tablespoon of filling into the center, and cover it with another rectangle.
- Seal edges using your fingers or a fork to prevent leakage during baking.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until slightly golden around the edges.
- For icing, mix powdered sugar with milk until desired consistency is reached and drizzle over cooled cookies.
