Ingredients

• 120 grams unsalted butter
• 100 grams brown sugar
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 200 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 100 grams pecans, finely chopped
• 120 grams cream cheese, softened
• 60 grams powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon milk
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for filling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Step 3

Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the chopped pecans.

Step 6

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared baking trays, spacing them about 2 inches apart.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

To make the filling, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and ground cinnamon, and continue to beat until creamy and spreadable.

Step 9

Once the cookies are completely cooled, spread a generous amount of the cream cheese filling onto the flat side of one cookie. Top with another cookie to create a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining cookies.

Step 10

Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
