Delightful homemade cookies with a gooey brown sugar filling, offering a twist on the classic pop tart.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup brown sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
- 2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon for the filling.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick.
- Cut the dough into rectangles, approximately 3×4 inches, aiming for about 12 from each disk.
- Fill the center of one rectangle with about 1 tablespoon of filling and cover with another rectangle, sealing the edges.
- Repeat until all rectangles are filled and assembled, then place on the baking sheets.
- Brush the tops with milk.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden and tops are set.
- Cool cookies on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and milk for icing, then drizzle over cooled cookies and add sprinkles if desired.
Notes
Chill the dough to maintain shape and avoid overmixing for tender cookies.
