Instructions
 

Prepare the cookie dough

  • Combine butter and sugars in a large mixing bowl and use an electric mixer to beat until light, fluffy, and well-creamed.
  • Add eggs and vanilla extract and stir again until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Gradually add dry ingredients to wet (in 4 or 5 parts) stirring until completely combined.
  • Cover dough tightly with plastic wrap and transfer to the refrigerator to chill for 30-60 minutes.
  • While the dough chills, prepare the filling.

For the filling

  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine butter, sugar, and vanilla and stir until smooth and creamy.
  • Sprinkle flour, cinnamon, and salt over the mixture and stir until well combined.

Assembly
