Dulce de Leche Filled Cookies
Servings: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup dulce de leche
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ⅓ cup sugar
- ½ teaspoon 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 ½ 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 ¾ 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.
