With your hands, flatten each dough ball slightly. Create a small indentation in the center of each dough mound and fill it with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
Seal the Cookies: Take another small piece of dough and flatten it. Place it over the filling and pinch the edges to seal the cookie. If desired, you can use a fork to press down on the edges for a decorative touch.
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
Bake: Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Be careful not to overbake to keep them soft.
Cool: Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 5: Prepare the Glaze
Whisk Together: In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly pourable.
Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the tops using a spoon or a piping bag for a more precise finish.
Presentation
Arrange the finished cookies on a beautiful serving platter for an eye-catching display. Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dusting of powdered sugar. You can even serve them alongside a glass of milk or a warm cup of coffee to enhance that nostalgic feel.
Enjoy!
