Ingredients

Scale

For the Cookies:

  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar, packed
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (50g) finely crushed graham crackers (optional)

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 12 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • Cream Butter & Sugar: Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Add Eggs & Vanilla: Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla extract.
  • Combine Wet & Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until combined. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
  • Make the Filling: Stir together brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter.
  • 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.
  • Bake: Arrange cookies on the baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden brown. Let cool.
  • Prepare the Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
  • Serve & Enjoy! Let the glaze set before serving.

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.
