Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup brown sugar filling (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (for frosting)
  • 2 tablespoons milk (for frosting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for frosting)

Instructions

  1. Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  6. Chill the Dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  7. Shape the Cookies: Roll the chilled dough into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Use your fingers to flatten each ball slightly.
  8. Add Filling: Place a small spoonful of brown sugar filling in the center of half of the flattened dough pieces. Top with another piece of dough and seal the edges.
  9. Bake: Place the filled cookies on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. Prepare the Frosting: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
  12. Serve and Enjoy: Your Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies are now ready to be enjoyed!

Notes

  • Chilling the dough helps maintain shape.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container.
