Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon 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. Stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape each into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Prepare the filling by combining brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a small bowl.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out the dough to about ¼ inch thick.
  8. Cut the rolled-out dough into rectangles approximately 3×4 inches. Aim for about 12 rectangles from each disk (total of 24).
  9. Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of one rectangle of dough. Place another rectangle on top and press the edges together to seal; crimp the edges with a fork.
  10. Place the assembled cookies on prepared baking sheets and brush the tops with milk. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until edges are golden.
  11. Let the cookies cool on sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely. Whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth; drizzle over cooled cookies and add sprinkles if desired.
