Ingredients
For the Cookies:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the Filling:
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 ½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the Cookies: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Make the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined.
- Scoop about 2 tablespoons of cookie dough, flatten slightly, and place a small amount of the filling in the center. Cover with another flattened dough portion and seal the edges to encase the filling.
- Arrange cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies and let it set before serving.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
- Warm the cookies slightly before serving to enhance their gooey texture.
