Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies: Soft, chewy bites inspired by a childhood favorite, filled with warm brown sugar cinnamon goodness and topped with a sweet icing drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- For the Brown Sugar Filling:
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- For the Icing:
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk (add more for thinner consistency)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- In another bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and mix until combined.
- In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter for the filling.
- Scoop cookie dough (about 2 tablespoons) and flatten slightly. Add a small dab of filling in the center, fold over, and gently seal the edges to enclose it.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden and set. Cool completely before icing.
- For the icing, mix powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies and let set before serving.
Notes
- Chill the dough for 15–20 minutes before scooping if it’s very soft.
- If the filling leaks, chill the dough a bit longer or use slightly less filling.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month.
- You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the icing for extra warmth.
