Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.75 cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1.25 cups powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, until fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, prepare the cream cheese glaze. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle or spread the cream cheese glaze over the tops of the cookies.
Optional: Lightly dust the cookies with ground cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor and presentation.
Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes, then serve and enjoy!
