1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

In a stand mixer, beat room temperature butter and sugars until fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla; mix until combined.
In another bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add to wet ingredients until fully incorporated. Chill dough for an hour.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Prepare the filling by mixing softened butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and cake flour until smooth. Form small balls of filling.
Scoop chilled dough and create wells to place the filling inside before sealing with more dough. Roll into balls.
Bake for 11–13 minutes until lightly golden. Cool before icing with a mixture of powdered sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and milk.
