Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (227g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) milk
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too sticky, chill it in the fridge for 15 minutes.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until it forms a paste-like consistency.
  5. Roll the dough into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each). Flatten each ball slightly with your hand, then use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center.
  6. Spoon a small amount of the cinnamon sugar filling into the indentation of each cookie, making sure not to overfill.
  7. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. If the glaze is too thick, add a little more milk, one teaspoon at a time.
  9. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or a piping bag. Let the glaze set for about 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

[‘Chill the dough for 15-20 minutes if it feels sticky.’, ‘Avoid overfilling the cookies to prevent spilling during baking.’, ‘Watch the cookies closely while baking to avoid overbaking.’, ‘Let the glaze set completely before storing the cookies.’, ‘Experiment with seasonal or dietary adaptations for variety.’]
