Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp white sugar (for rolling)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (for rolling)
- 1/2 cup butter, room temperature (for frosting)
- 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature
- 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (for frosting)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a stand mixer, beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar for 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon for rolling.
- Scoop large dough balls (about 1/2 cup each), roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and place on baking sheets (6 per sheet).
- Flatten each dough ball slightly and bake for 9–11 minutes, until the edges are set but centers remain soft.
- Cool cookies completely on a wire rack.
- For the frosting, beat butter and cream cheese together for 2 minutes until creamy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat for 2 more minutes until smooth.
- Pipe frosting on cooled cookies and dust with extra cinnamon sugar. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- For best texture, avoid overbaking—cookies should be soft in the center.
- Use room-temperature ingredients for a smooth dough and frosting.
- Store frosted cookies in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Dough can be frozen for up to 3 months; bake from frozen with 1–2 extra minutes.
- To reduce sweetness, use less powdered sugar in the frosting.
