Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened but still cool to the touch
  • 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and prepare two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, combine all the filling ingredients for the cinnamon sugar, mixing until well blended, then freeze for about 10 minutes.
  3. Beat the softened butter and sugar together until light and creamy.
  4. Add the vanilla, egg, and egg yolk, and continue beating until mixed well.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt.
  6. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, beating until combined.
  7. Remove half of the dough and spread the remaining dough in the mixing bowl. Spoon small amounts of the cinnamon filling on top of the dough in the bowl.
  8. Spread the reserved dough over the cinnamon mixture, then sprinkle the remaining filling on top.
  9. Gently fold and mix the dough, then scoop it into two-tablespoon portions.
  10. Freeze the dough balls for about 10 minutes before placing them on the baking sheets.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are slightly browned and the centers remain slightly underbaked.
  12. Allow the cookies to cool completely on wire racks.
