  6. In another bowl, stir together softened butter, light brown sugar, cinnamon, and cake flour for the filling.
  7. Roll filling into small balls and set aside.
  8. Scoop out portions of dough, create a well in each, and place a filling ball inside, sealing securely.
  9. Arrange cookies on baking sheets and bake for 11-13 minutes until lightly golden.
  10. Cool completely on a wire rack before icing.
  11. For the icing, whisk together powdered sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and milk until smooth. Spoon over cooled cookies.

Notes

Make sure butter is at room temperature for optimal mixing. Don’t skip the chilling step; it helps prevent spreading.
