Ingredients

Scale

Fresh Products

  • 2 Large eggs

Dry & Flavoring Ingredients

  • 3 7/8 cups Cake flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1 tsp Baking soda
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 3/4 cups Light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp Kosher salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 cup Powdered sugar (for glaze)

Dairy

  • 1 1/2 cups Unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 1/2 tbsp Milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, cornstarch, cinnamon, and kosher salt. Set this mixture aside.
  3. Cream butter and sugars: In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened unsalted butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light, fluffy, and well combined, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add eggs and vanilla: Mix in the large eggs and vanilla extract until smooth and homogeneous.
  5. Combine dry and wet ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and combine until a thick, soft dough forms.
  6. Shape dough balls: Scoop large 2-tablespoon portions of dough, roll into smooth balls, and place on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Flatten cookies: Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon to form thick discs.
  8. Bake cookies: Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden but centers remain soft and chewy.
  9. Cool cookies: Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before glazing.
  10. Prepare glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and a pinch of cinnamon (optional) until smooth and thick but pourable.
  11. Glaze cookies: Drizzle or spread the glaze over the cooled cookies. Allow the glaze to set for about 20 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Refrigerate cookies for up to 1 week to keep them fresh longer.
  • Freeze unglazed cookies for up to 2 months; thaw and glaze when ready to serve.
  • To warm cookies, microwave them for 6–8 seconds for that fresh Pop-Tart taste and feel.
  • Variations include adding maple syrup to the glaze, browning half the butter for nutty flavor, stuffing cookies with cinnamon sugar filling, or making smaller bite-sized cookies.
