Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with both brown sugar and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well after each addition before stirring in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients on low speed until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon, mixing until well blended.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and roll out one disk on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Cut the dough into rectangles approximately 3x4 inches.
- On half of the dough rectangles, generously place about 1 tablespoon of the prepared filling in the center. Place another rectangle on top.
- Press gently around the edges to seal and crimp the edges tightly with a fork.
- Brush a little milk on top for a nice golden color.
- Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes until lightly golden. Let them cool for 5 minutes before transferring them to wire racks.
- Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies and add sprinkles if desired.
- Serve warm or at room temperature and store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes
For the best results, ensure butter is at room temperature, measure flour correctly, and do not skip the chilling step for the dough.
