Instructions
For Cookies:
- Preheat oven to 350℉ and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a sauce pan over medium high heat, add your butter and let melt. Once it's melted, keep it on the heat and let it cook for 5-10 minutes until it foams up and then turns a amber brown color. Transfer into a glass measuring cup and let cool.
- In a large bowl, add your cooled browned butter, brown sugar, and sugar and stir until well combined. Add your eggs, vanilla extract, vanilla bean paste and stir until light and fluffy.
- Once your wet ingredients are combined, add your flour, cinnamon, cornstarch, baking soda and salt and fold together until just combined.
- Scoop your cookie dough into 1-2 inch balls and place them on your baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Slightly press down with the palm of your hand. Now make the cinnamon swirl-
For Cinnamon Swirl:
- In a small bowl add your additional softened butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar and mix until comes together.
- Transfer your mixture into a small ziplock baggie and cut a super small hole on one corner.
- Pipe a swirl of your cinnamon roll mixture onto each cookie dough ball and bake in the oven for 350℉ for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, use a round cookie cutter to scoot around your cookies and make them round, let cool.
For Glaze:
- In a small bowl mix your powdered sugar and water (or milk) until it's smooth. If your glaze is too thin, add a tablespoon more of powdered sugar, if it's too thick add a teaspoon more of water.
- Once your cookies have cooled down a little bit, drizzle your glaze over your cookies.
