Method
Preparing the Cookie Base
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Creating the Filling
- In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon until well combined.
Assembling the Cookies
- Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of cookie dough and flatten them slightly.
- Place a teaspoon of the cinnamon filling in the center of half of the cookies.
- Top with the remaining cookie dough portions and seal the edges to form the cookies.
Baking the Cookies
- Place the assembled cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Making the Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
- Drizzle the frosting over the cooled cookies and top with sprinkles if desired.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the filling. Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container for up to a week.
