Indulge in the Nostalgia of Homemade Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon milk (for brushing)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for icing)
  • 2 tablespoon milk (for icing)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Make Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gradually add the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, mixing until the dough is combined.

3. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon until well combined.

4. Shape Cookies: Roll out half of the dough on a floured surface to about 1/4-inch thick. Cut the dough into rectangles. Spoon a small amount of the filling onto half of the rectangles, leaving a border. Top with the remaining rectangles and press the edges to seal.

5. Brush & Bake: Brush the tops of the cookies with 1 tablespoon of milk. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden.

6. Prepare Icing: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoon of milk until the icing is smooth.

7. Decorate: Once the cookies have cooled, drizzle or spread the icing on top and add sprinkles if desired.

8. Serve: Let the icing set, and then enjoy your delightful Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies!

Notes

Chill the Dough: Refrigerating the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and shaping can help the cookies hold their shape better during baking.

Use a Bench Scraper: Investing in a bench scraper can make it easier to transfer the filled cookies to the baking sheet without tearing the dough.

Adjust Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the cookies during baking, as oven temperatures can vary. Adjust the baking time as needed to achieve the perfect golden-brown color.

Experiment with Fillings: While the classic brown sugar filling is delicious, you can also try other fillings like fruit preserves, chocolate spread, or even a creamy cheese mixture.
