  • Total Time: 1 hour
  • Yield: 20 cookies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup packed brown sugar for filling
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  2. Add ice water gradually, mixing until dough comes together. Divide dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out one dough disk on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
  4. Cut into rectangles or desired shapes. Mix brown sugar and cinnamon for filling.
  5. Spread filling onto half of each cut shape, then top with the remaining dough pieces, sealing edges.
  6. Place on baking sheet lined with parchment. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle with sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown. Mix milk, brown sugar, vanilla, and melted butter for glaze, drizzle over baked cookies.

Notes

  • Chill the dough to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Can substitute with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
