Ingredients
Scale
Cinnamon Filling:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
Sugar Cookie Dough:
- 2¼ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Cinnamon Filling: In a small bowl, combine butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth, then freeze for 10 minutes.
- Prepare the Sugar Cookie Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla, and mix until well combined. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients.
- Assemble the Cookies: Divide dough in half. Press one half into the bottom of a bowl. Drop small pieces of cinnamon filling over the dough, then top with the remaining dough and cinnamon filling. Gently fold to create a marbled effect.
- Chill the Dough: Portion dough into 2-tablespoon-sized balls. Freeze for 10 minutes.
- Bake the Cookies: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place dough balls on the sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are set and centers slightly undercooked. Let cool on a wire rack.
