Name: Cinnamon Sugar Pop Tart Cookies
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 35 min
Ingredients: 3 cups almond flour; 3 tablespoons coconut flour; 1/4 teaspoon baking soda; 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (vegan if needed); 1/2 cup maple syrup; 2 teaspoons vanilla extract; 5 tablespoons unsalted butter softened; 3/4 cup coconut sugar; 1 teaspoon cinnamon; 1 cup powdered sugar; 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon; 2 tablespoons milk of choice; 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the cookie dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking soda. Stir in the melted butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until a soft dough forms. It should be thick, but not dry. If it’s too sticky, pop it in the fridge for 10 minutes.
Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, coconut sugar, and cinnamon until creamy and smooth. It should resemble the brown sugar filling from an actual Pop-Tart – that rich, cinnamon-y paste that makes your entire house smell like a bakery.
Roll and shape the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take the dough and roll it out between two sheets of parchment paper until it’s about 1/4 inch thick.
Use a round cookie cutter (or the rim of a glass!) to cut out even circles of dough. These are your cookie bases.
Place half of the circles onto the baking sheet. Spoon about 1-1.5 teaspoons of the coconut sugar filling onto the center of each one, spreading gently but leaving a little border around the edge.
Top each filled cookie with another dough circle and gently press the edges together to seal. You can crimp the edges with a fork if you’re feeling fancy, but it’s totally optional.
Bake the cookies: Bake the cookies in your preheated oven for about 14-16 minutes, or until the edges are just turning golden. The tops should still look soft—they’ll firm up as they cool.
Let them cool completely on the baking sheet or a wire rack before frosting.
Frost the cookies: Whisk together the powdered sugar, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla extract to create your dreamy cinnamon glaze. If it’s too thick, add a tiny splash more milk. If it’s too thin, more sugar will help thicken it up.
Drizzle or spread the frosting over each cooled cookie and let it set for a few minutes before serving.
