Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup dulce de leche
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes with a hand mixer or 4–5 minutes by hand.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully combined.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until the dough comes together and is smooth.
- Roll the dough into tablespoon-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball slightly with a fork or the bottom of a glass.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes.
- Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Spread about 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoons of dulce de leche on the flat side of one cookie and top with another cookie.
- Press gently to spread the filling to the edge.
