Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams brown sugar
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 200 grams all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams pecans, finely chopped
- 120 grams cream cheese, softened
- 60 grams powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for filling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
To make the filling, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and ground cinnamon, and continue to beat until creamy and spreadable.
Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
