Description
Delicious cookies that combine sweet brown sugar and cinnamon for a fun twist on classic pop tarts.
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup brown sugar, for filling
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar, for icing
- 1-2 tablespoons milk, for icing consistency
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar and cinnamon together. Set aside.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll one portion out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut into rectangles (3×4 inches). Repeat with the second portion.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of one rectangle. Cover it with another rectangle and seal the edges.
- Repeat until all cookies are assembled.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown. Allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Mix powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies and add sprinkles if desired.
