Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies

A delightful twist on classic pop tarts transformed into soft and chewy cookies, bursting with flavors of brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until smooth and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Add the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter-sugar mixture and stir gently until just combined.
  6. Scoop out the dough and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each scoop.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden.
  8. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

For extra chewy cookies, consider chilling the dough for 30-60 minutes before baking.
