Let’s Make it together
Prep Your Dough: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy and light.
Add Wet Ingredients: Next, beat in one egg at a time, followed by vanilla extract. Mix until well combined; the batter should be smooth and creamy.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly blended. Gradually add this mixture to your wet ingredients while stirring gently.
Create Your Filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon for your dreamy filling. Set aside; this mixture will bring all those delightful flavors inside our cookies.
Scoop & Shape Cookies: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, take some dough and flatten it in your hand. Place about one tablespoon of the filling in the center before folding the dough around it securely.
Bake & Cool: Arrange your stuffed cookies on parchment-lined baking sheets about two inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they’re just golden at the edges but still soft in the center. Let them cool before drizzling with icing if desired.
Now that you’ve got those Cinnamon Roll Stuffed Cookies baking away in your oven, get ready for heavenly aromas wafting through your kitchen! Enjoy every gooey bite as they warm your heart and satisfy your cravings!
