Ingredients

Scale

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

softened

⅓ cup brown sugar

packed

1½ tablespoons all purpose flour

2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon

pinch salt

1 cup unsalted butter

softened but still cool to the touch

1 ⅓ cups granulated sugar

1 ¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract

1 large egg

1 large egg yolk

2 ¾ cups all purpose flour

SEE NOTE

¾ teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cornstarch

¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, all purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to create the cinnamon sugar filling. Mix until well blended and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, egg, and egg yolk, mixing until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all purpose flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Take a portion of the cookie dough and flatten it slightly before placing a spoonful of the cinnamon sugar filling in the center. Roll the dough around the filling to form a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Ensure the butter is softened but not melted for optimal texture. Chill the cookie dough before baking for thicker cookies, if desired.
