Instructions
- Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- Assemble Cookies: Scoop 1 tablespoon of dough, press a small indentation in the center, and fill with ½ teaspoon of cinnamon-sugar filling. Cover with another tablespoon of dough and seal edges.

Notes
- Chill the dough to prevent cookies from spreading too much.
- Use high-quality cinnamon for the best flavor.
- Do not overbake—cookies will continue to set as they cool.
- For a crispier edge, bake for an extra 2 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
