Ingredients
  

For the cinnamon-sugar filling

  • 6 tablespoons butter slightly softened.
  • ¾ Cup brown sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons cinnamon

For the cookie dough

  • 1 cup salted butter room temperature
  • 1 and ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 3.5 Cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1.5 teaspoons cream of tartar

For the icing (optional)

  • 2 Ounces cream cheese room temperature
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

Cinnamon filling

  • Make the cinnamon sugar filling by combining the butter, sugar and cinnamon with a mixer until fluffy and well incorporated. About 2 minutes
  • Use a ¼ teaspoon to roll them into marble size balls. You might need to chill the filling for a bit if your butter is too soft.
  • After the balls are formed, place in the freezer for about 1 hour. Make the dough while this freezes.

Cookie dough

  • In a bowl whisk the flour, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt and set aside.
  • Add the butter and sugar to a bowl and beat with a hand mixer until incorporated, about 2 minutes.
  • Add one egg at a time and the vanilla extract and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy and pale in color, 3-4 minutes.
  • Add the flour mix in 3 increments and mix until combined.
  • Add the frozen cinnamon sugar balls by folding them in the dough. Do not over mix as they will start to melt into the dough.
  • Chill the dough for 20-30 minutes, or if time allows, for 1 hour.
  • Preheat the oven at 375 Fahrenheit.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Bake for 10 minutes and let them rest for 10 minutes on the pan.
  • Scoop the dough with a 2 tablespoon cookie scooper, you should get about 16 cookies.

Make the icing (optional)

  • Mix the cream cheese, sugar and milk and use a hand mixer to combine it until fluffy. About 2 mins.
  • Drizzle the icing over the cookies and enjoy.
