Ingredients
Scale
- ¾ cup (150 g) dark brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ tbsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch
- ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100 g) light brown sugar, packed
- â…“ cup (65 g) granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups (220 g) all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp fine sea salt
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 2–3 tbsp whole milk or heavy cream
- ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp cinnamon sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the dark brown sugar, ground cinnamon, melted butter, and flour until a thick, paste-like filling forms. Set aside.
- In a large bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar together on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Sift in the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix on low speed just until a cohesive dough forms.
- Flatten a 2-tablespoon portion of dough in your palm. Scoop a tablespoon of the cinnamon filling into the center, fold the dough up and around the filling, and seal all seams tightly into a ball. Place on a tray and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Arrange the chilled dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 11 to 13 minutes until the edges are light golden brown.
- Cool the cookies completely. Whisk together the powdered sugar, dark brown sugar, milk or heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth, then drizzle the glaze over each cookie.
- Dust the glazed cookies with cinnamon sugar before serving.
Notes
Chill the stuffed cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking to help the cookies hold their shape. Seal the dough tightly around the cinnamon filling to keep the center contained during baking.
