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.
  • While the dough chills, prepare the filling.

For the filling

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

Assembly

  • Place cookie dough on a baking sheet and freeze for 15-30 minutes.
