- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 15 minutes
- Total Time: 35 minutes
- Yield: 24 cookies 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup butter (softened)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup dulce de leche
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Whisk the flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt together.
- In a separate bowl, beat brown sugar and butter together until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla and mix until combined. Mix in the dry ingredients until well combined.
- Shape the dough into 24 balls. There should be cookie dough left over. Place the balls 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheets. Use a spoon or your thumb to make a large 1/2 inch imprint in each ball.
- Place the dulce de leche into a piping bag or ziplock bag. Cut off the edge of the bag and pipe dulce de leche into each thumbprint hole until 3/4 full. Cover dulce de leche with a piece of the reserved dough. Gently roll the cookie balls in the cinnamon sugar mix until coated, then place back on the cookie sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, until the edges are lightly browned. Let cool completely before eating.
