Brown Sugar Pop Tart Cookies feature a buttery brown-sugar dough enveloping a burst of jam, creating a delightful contrast between crisp edges and a tender center.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup pop tart filling (e.g., strawberry, blueberry)
  • Sprinkles or icing for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Whisk together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  5. Roll the dough into balls and flatten each slightly. Place a small spoonful of filling in the center of half the flattened cookies.
  6. Top with the remaining cookie halves and seal the edges.
  7. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
  8. Let cool slightly before decorating with icing or sprinkles if desired.
  9. Enjoy fresh or store in an airtight container for later!

Notes

Chill the dough if it becomes too soft for easier handling. For a nuttier flavor, replace part of the flour with almond meal.
