Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer bowl, combine 1 cup of room temperature unsalted butter, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, and 1 cup packed light brown sugar. Beat on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until creamy.
  2. Add 2 room temperature eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat for another 1-2 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 3/4 cups cake flour, 2 tablespoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until well combined.
  5. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  7. In a bowl, stir together 5 tablespoons softened unsalted butter, 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 2 tablespoons cake flour until smooth for the filling.
  8. Roll the filling mixture into small balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Scoop a tablespoon of dough, create a well in the center, place a ball of filling inside, cover it with dough, and seal the edges with fingers.
  10. Bake for 11-13 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  11. For icing, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, 3 tablespoons melted and cooled unsalted butter, and 2 1/2 tablespoons milk until smooth. Spoon icing on cookies and let set for about 15 minutes before serving.
