- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream 1 cup unsalted butter with 1 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until fluffy. Add 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, mixing until combined.
- Gradually mix in 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon baking powder, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. The dough should be thick but not sticky.
- Prepare the filling by combining 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon softened butter until smooth.
- Roll tablespoons of dough into balls, flatten slightly, and add a dollop of filling to the center. Seal the edges and reshape into rounds.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Mix 1 cup powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons milk to create a glaze and drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Notes
Chill the dough for 30 minutes before shaping to make it easier to handle. Watch the baking time closely as these cookies bake quickly.
