  • teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

Prepare the cookie dough

  • Combine butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until light, fluffy, and well-creamed.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir again until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, stirring until completely combined.
  • Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 30-60 minutes.

For the filling

  • In a mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, and vanilla and stir or beat until smooth and creamy.
  • Sprinkle flour, cinnamon, and salt over the butter/sugar mixture and stir until well-combined.

Assembly

  • Remove chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator and scoop by ¼ cup. Break the scoop in half and form one half into a nest.
  • Scoop a tablespoon of the brown sugar filling into the nest you made. Take the other half of the cookie dough and form it into a flattened nest shape around the filling.
  • Repeat until all cookie dough and filling is used.
  • Place cookie dough on a baking sheet and place in the freezer for 15-30 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 375F (190C). Once cookie dough has chilled, place on the prepared baking sheet, spacing cookies 2 inches apart. Bake for 14 minutes.
  • Allow to cool completely on baking sheet before icing.

For the icing

  • In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar, brown sugar, milk, corn syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Whisk until smooth, adding additional milk if needed.
  • Immediately drizzle over cooled cookies and allow to set before enjoying.
