Instructions
 

Prepare the cookie dough

  • Combine butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until light, fluffy, and well-creamed.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir again until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
  • Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 30-60 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the filling.

For the filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, and vanilla and stir or beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Sprinkle flour, cinnamon, and salt over the butter/sugar mixture and stir until well-combined.

Assembly

  • Remove chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator and scoop by ¼ cup. Break the scoop in half and form one half into a nest.
  • Scoop a Tablespoon of the brown sugar filling into the nest. Form the other half of the cookie dough into a flattened nest shape and seal the filling inside.

  • Place cookie dough on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 15-30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 375F (190C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Once the dough has chilled and the oven is preheated, bake for 14 minutes.
  • Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before icing.
