Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 3/4 cups cake flour
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons cake flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted and cooled)
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons milk

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine 1 cup of room temperature unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  2. Add 2 room temperature eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat for another 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 3 3/4 cups cake flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing on medium speed until combined, about 1-2 minutes. Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
  5. Cover the cookie dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 60 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. In a medium bowl, stir together 5 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons cake flour until smooth to create the filling.
  8. Roll the filling into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Scoop the chilled dough with a 1/4 cup measuring cup, split in half, create a well in one half, place one ball of filling inside the well, cover with the other half, and seal.
  10. Arrange the cookies on the baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart, and bake for 11-13 minutes until set and lightly golden. Cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  11. While cooling, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and 2 1/2 tablespoons milk until smooth for the icing. Spoon the icing on each cookie and let it set for 15 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. You can freeze cookie dough balls before baking; just add an extra minute or two to the baking time when you are ready to bake.
