Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Filling

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking perfectly soft cookies.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well combined to create an evenly spiced base.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars. In a separate large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender crumb.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture until smooth and fully incorporated, adding richness and flavor.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined to avoid tough cookies.
  6. Prepare Filling. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon; this sweet and spiced mixture is the essential filling.
  7. Assemble Dough. Spread half of the cookie dough evenly onto a sheet of parchment paper, then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling over the dough surface.
  8. Roll and Slice. Using the parchment paper to help, tightly roll the dough into a log shape, then slice into round cookies about ½ inch thick and place them spaced on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Bake Cookies. Bake the sliced cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden, then allow them to cool on a wire rack before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for best creaming results.
  • Use parchment paper for easy rolling and cleanup.
  • Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender cookie texture.
  • You can add a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk on top for extra sweetness.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh for up to 4 days.
