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

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat until light and fluffy—about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add your dry mixture to the wet mixture on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Once your dough is formed, divide it into two equal portions. Shape each portion into disks, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least one hour.
  6. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon until evenly distributed for the filling.
  7. After chilling, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface until it's about ¼ inch thick.
  8. Cut your rolled-out dough into rectangles approximately 3×4 inches.
  9. Take one rectangle of dough and place about 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar filling in its center. Top it with another rectangle of dough and press edges together firmly to seal.
  10. Use a fork to crimp edges for an attractive finish while ensuring no filling escapes during baking.
  11. Brush the tops of each cookie lightly with milk before placing them onto prepared baking sheets.
  12. Bake in your preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  13. Once baked, allow cookies to cool on baking sheets for about five minutes before transferring them onto wire racks to cool completely.
  14. In a small bowl whisk together powdered sugar with milk until smooth for the icing.
  15. Once cooled completely drizzle icing over each cookie as desired; add sprinkles for extra flair.
