Ingredients for 14 Cookies:
- ½ cup softened butter
- ½ cup margarine, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
For the cinnamon filling:
- ¼ cup butter, partially melted
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- 1½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
replaces the word nice with emptyppings:
- ¼ cup white chocolate chips
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside. - Prepare the cinnamon filling:
In a small bowl, whisk together the partially melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and flour until smooth. Spread the mixture onto one of the prepared baking sheets, about ¼-inch thick. Place the sheet in the freezer while you prepare the cookie dough. - Cream the butter and sugar:
In a large bowl, beat together softened butter, margarine and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if necessary. - Add the egg and vanilla:
Beat egg and vanilla extract until well combined. - Mix the dry ingredients:
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms. - Add the cinnamon topping:
Remove the cinnamon filling from the freezer and cut into small squares. Gently fold the frozen cinnamon squares into the cookie dough, being careful not to overmix: you should see swirls and bits of cinnamon in the dough. - Distribute and bake the cookies:
Divide cookie dough among prepared baking sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cookies cool on baking sheet. - Drizzle with white chocolate:
Once the cookies are cooled, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a zip-top bag, cut off a small corner, and drizzle the chocolate over the cookies.
