Prep Time30 minutes
Cook Time15 minutes
Total Time45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon for dusting
  • ½ cup granulated sugar for dusting
  • 2 tbsp melted butter for brushing

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and creamy.
  • Take small pieces of the cookie dough, flatten them slightly on the baking sheet, and place a scoop of the cream cheese filling in the center of each flattened dough ball.
  • Fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges to encase the cream cheese.
  • Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  • While the cookies are baking, mix the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar in a shallow dish.
  • Once the cookies are out of the oven and slightly cooled, brush them with melted butter and roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until fully coated.
