Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
- In another bowl, cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add in egg and vanilla extract, mixing until fully incorporated.
- Gradually blend the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each into a flat disk.
- Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- While the dough chills, mix together brown sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon in a small bowl for the filling.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Roll out one disk of dough to about 1/4 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface.
- Cut the rolled dough into rectangles, roughly 3x4 inches each, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Take half of the rectangles, add about 1 tablespoon of filling mixture in the center of each.
- Top with another rectangle of dough, sealing edges by pressing down.
- Brush tops lightly with milk for a golden finish.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are golden and tops are set.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Whisk together powdered sugar and milk for the icing until smooth.
- Drizzle the icing over cooled cookies and, if desired, add sprinkles.

Notes
Ensure your butter is softened for easy creaming, and don't skip refrigerating the dough for best results.
