A delicious twist on a childhood favorite, these Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies combine nostalgia with flavor in a soft, chewy cookie filled with brown sugar and cinnamon.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon alcohol-free vanilla flavoring
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk (for icing)

Instructions

  1. Cream the butter and sugars: Beat butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar for 2–3 minutes until smooth and creamy.

  2. Add wet ingredients: Mix in the egg and alcohol-free vanilla flavoring until fully combined.

  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix flour, salt, and cinnamon. Gradually add to the wet mixture until a dough forms.

  4. Shape and fill: Roll dough to 1/4 inch thickness, cut into rectangles, add filling, top, and seal edges.

  5. Bake: Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 15–20 minutes until lightly golden.

Notes

For a gluten-free option, swap the all-purpose flour for a suitable gluten-free blend. Get creative with add-ins like chocolate chips or different icing flavors.
