Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon sugar filling:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- pinch of salt
Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened but still cool to the touch
- 1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar
- 1 ¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Cinnamon sugar filling: Mix together all ingredients until well combined. Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes while you prepare the cookie dough.
- Cookies: Beat butter and sugar until light and creamy. Add vanilla, egg, and egg yolk, and beat until combined. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and beat until combined. Layer cookie dough and cinnamon mixture in a bowl, fold and mix gently. Scoop dough into portions, freeze, then bake for 10-12 minutes until done. Cool on wire racks.
Notes
- Ensure the butter is cool but softened for the best cookie texture.
- Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies keep their shape.
- For perfectly round cookies, shape them as soon as they come out of the oven.
