Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315 grams) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (227 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (200 grams) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (50 grams) light brown sugar, packed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (100 grams) granulated sugar (for cinnamon sugar coating)
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon sugar coating)
  • 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons (28 grams) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (120 grams) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for cinnamon cream)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for cinnamon cream)
  • 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) heavy cream, optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and light brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for the cinnamon sugar coating.
  7. Scoop dough by generous tablespoons, roll each ball in the cinnamon sugar mixture until fully coated, and place on prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  8. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are set and lightly golden but centers remain slightly soft.
  9. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While cookies cool, beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix until creamy. Add heavy cream if needed to reach spreadable consistency.
  11. Spread cinnamon cream on the flat side of one cookie and sandwich with another, or dollop cream on top as preferred.

Notes

If dough is too sticky to roll, chill in the fridge for 15 minutes. Use room temperature ingredients for best results. Do not overbake; cookies should be soft in the center. Fresh cinnamon is recommended for best flavor. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free blend. For dairy-free, use coconut cream cheese and vegan butter. You can add a pinch of coarse sugar on top before baking for extra crunch.
