Servings: 24 1/2 cookie servings
Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 1 1/2 cups salted butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Cinnamon and Sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Frosting + Toppings
- 1 13.4 oz can dulce de leche
- 2 tbsp salted butter softened
- 4 oz cream cheese room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- While the oven is preheating make the cookie dough. Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Scrape the sides, add in the eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat until mixed.
- Scrape the sides and add in the flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Scoop out 1/3 cup of dough and roll into a ball. Repeat with remaining dough.
- Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a bowl, toss and press the cinnamon and sugar onto the cookie dough. Flatten the cookie dough by gently so it is in the shape of a hockey puck. Repeat with remaining dough.
- The cookies will spread so make sure to leave room. I tend to only put 6 cookies per pan.
- Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until the centers of the cookies have puffed up and are no longer glossy.
- While the cookies are cooling on the pan, make the frosting, by whipping the butter, cream cheese, vanilla and 1/4 cup dulce de leche until smooth.
- Add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, letting the ingredients combine completely before adding the next cup.
- Add milk a tsp at a time until you've reached your desired consistency, if needed.
- Add the frosting to a piping bag fit with a large closed star tip (2D). Set aside.
- Once the cookies have cooled on the pan for about 15 minutes, spoon about a tbsp of dulce de leche onto the top of the cookies.Pipe a dollop of frosting into the center of each cookie. Serve warm.
