Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies

Ingredients

  1. 2 cups all-purpose flour
  2. 1 teaspoon baking powder
  3. 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  4. 1/2 teaspoon salt
  5. 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  6. 1 cup sugar
  7. 1 egg
  8. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  9. 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  10. 1/2 cup cream cheese
  11. 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare all ingredients and bring them to room temperature. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes using an electric mixer.
  4. Add egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating until well combined and smooth.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft cookie dough forms. Do not overmix.
  6. In a separate small bowl, mix cinnamon with 2 tablespoons of the sugar to create a cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Roll the cookie dough into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat completely.
  8. Place cookie dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden.
  10. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. For the filling, beat cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth and creamy.
  12. Once cookies are completely cool, spread cream cheese filling on the flat side of half the cookies.
  13. Sandwich the filled cookies with the remaining plain cookies, gently pressing to create a sandwich.
  14. Optional: Dust the tops of sandwich cookies with additional powdered sugar for extra sweetness.
  15. Refrigerate cookies for 30 minutes to help filling set, then serve and enjoy!

Tips

  1. Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the smoothest, most consistent dough.
  2. Don't Overmix: Mix the dough just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
  3. Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create evenly sized cookie balls for consistent baking.
  4. Cinnamon Coating Trick: Roll cookies generously in the cinnamon-sugar mixture for maximum flavor.
  5. Cooling is Crucial: Let cookies cool completely before adding filling to prevent melting.
  6. Filling Consistency: Beat cream cheese filling until smooth and creamy for the best texture.
  7. Chilling Tip: Refrigerate assembled cookies to help the filling set and enhance flavors.
  8. Storage Hack: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  9. Make Ahead: You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  10. Serving Suggestion: Dust with powdered sugar just before serving for an extra touch of elegance!
