Here’s a glimpse of the delicious ingredients that make these cookies irresistible.
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, and cinnamon until well combined.
- In a separate large bowl, beat together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until creamy and smooth.
- Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, beating well to incorporate.
- Gradually mix in the flour mixture until just combined; be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop out portions of the cookie dough and place them on a baking sheet, making an indentation in the center of each dough ball.
- Fill each indentation with a generous spoonful of dulce de leche.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
- In a separate bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar and remaining dulce de leche until smooth. Swirl this mixture on top of the cooled cookies.
- Coat each cookie with cinnamon sugar before serving for an extra touch of flavor and sweetness.
Tips & Variations
- Ingredient substitutions: You can use coconut oil in place of butter for a dairy-free version, or try using brown sugar exclusively for a deeper molasses flavor.
- Optional variations: Add chocolate chips or nuts for additional texture. For an extra kick, a pinch of cayenne can provide a unique twist to the sweetness.
- Storage or reheating tips: Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. To enjoy the warm, gooey filling again, briefly reheat cookies in the microwave.
