Ingredients

Scale

These delightful Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies feature a tender cookie crust, a sweet cinnamon brown sugar filling, and a simple glaze.

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
  • 12 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.
