→ For the Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
→ For the Brown Sugar Filling:
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tbsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup milk
→ For the Icing:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prep & Make Dough: In a large bowl, cream softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet until just combined. Divide dough in half, flatten, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Make Filling: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup brown sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon, and ¼ cup milk until a thick paste forms.
- Assemble Cookies: Roll out one portion of chilled dough to ¼-inch thickness. Cut into 3×2 inch rectangles. Place half on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Spoon 1-2 tsp filling onto each, leaving a border. Top with remaining dough rectangles. Crimp edges with a fork to seal, and poke holes in the top.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Icing: Whisk powdered sugar with 1-2 tbsp milk until smooth. Spread over cooled cookies. Add sprinkles if desired. Enjoy your Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies!
Notes
- Chill Dough is Essential: This helps prevent spreading and makes the dough easier to work with.
- Don’t Overfill: A moderate amount of filling ensures it stays inside the cookie during baking.
- Cool Completely: Always wait until cookies are fully cooled before icing for the best results.
