Soft, chewy cookies inspired by the nostalgic flavors of brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tarts, perfect for fall with a buttery filling and sweet glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (light or dark, depending on your preference)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tbsp milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: A pinch of cinnamon for extra flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until creamy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined to make the filling.
  7. Scoop out dough (about 2 tablespoons per cookie) and flatten it slightly.
  8. Add about ½ teaspoon of the filling in the center. Fold the dough over the filling and roll into a ball, ensuring the filling is sealed inside.
  9. Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each.
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  11. While the cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the dough to avoid tough cookies.’, ‘Seal the filling well to prevent it from leaking during baking.’, ‘Chill the dough for 15 minutes if it feels too soft.’, ‘Let the cookies cool completely before adding the glaze to prevent it from sliding off.’]
