  • ¾ cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

For the Brown Sugar Filling:

For the Cinnamon Glaze:

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
  2. Line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides for easy removal later. Lightly spray with baking spray.
  3. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy, about three minutes.
  4. Add the egg and mix until combined. Then, incorporate the confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, beating until just combined—about one minute. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  5. Gradually mix in the flour until just incorporated.
