Description
Delicious Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies filled with your favorite jam or filling, topped with a sweet icing.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk (for icing)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. If the dough is too dry, add milk a tablespoon at a time until it reaches a workable consistency.
- Divide the dough in half and roll each half out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Cut out rectangles (about 3×4 inches) using a knife or cookie cutter.
- Place half of the rectangles on the prepared baking sheet. Add a small dollop of your favorite jam or filling in the center of each rectangle.
- Top each filled rectangle with another rectangle of dough. Press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing by mixing the powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk until smooth. Adjust the consistency as needed.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies and add sprinkles if desired. Allow the icing to set before serving.
Notes
- For a fun twist, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the dough for extra flavor.
- You can also substitute the jam with Nutella or peanut butter for a different filling option.
