COOK: Cinnamon Pancake Cookies

Not only do these cookies taste yummy, but they are also so stinking cute!  They so great with a cup of coffee (I mean, pancakes are a breakfast food, right?), or a nice cold glass of milk.  

Cinnamon Pancake Cookies

Makes about 36

Ingredients:

Cookies:

3/4 Cup Unsalted Butter (Softened, room temperature)

1 Cup Sugar

3/8 Cup Brown Sugar (Packed)

1 Egg

2 teaspoons Vanilla

3 1/3 Cups All Purpose Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 teaspoon Cream of Tartar

1/2 teaspoon Salt

2 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon

4 Tablespoons Sweetened Condensed Milk.

Russian Buttercream (Optional):

1/2 Cup Unsalted Butter (Softened, room temperature)

7 Ounces Sweetened Condensed Milk

Preparation:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.  Prepare baking sheets with either parchment paper, or silicone baking mats.  

In the bowl of your stand mixer, or a large bowl if using hand mixer, cream butter until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.  Add in both sugars and let mix on medium high speed for 2 minutes.  Turn down to low speed and incorporate egg and vanilla.

In a separate bowl whisk together flour, baking soda, cream of tartar, salt, and cinnamon.  With mixer on low slowly add in dry mixture, only until everything is incorporated.

Scoop using a 1.5 Tablespoon cookie scoop scoop 12 balls onto baking sheet, gently flatten each ball to about 1/3 inch, then using a basking brush put a thin coating of sweetened condensed milk.

Bake 10-12 minutes, let cool at least 10 minutes on baking sheet before moving to a cooling rack.

In a small bowl cream butter with a hand mixer on high speed, until white and very fluffy, about 8 minutes.  Slowly drizzle in sweetened condensed milk while still mixing until fully combined.  Refrigerate about 15 minutes, then spread on cookies using an offset spatula, or pipe on using a piping bag.  (I used a star tip so each cookie looked like it had a cue dollop of butter.)

Store cookies in a plastic container for up to 5 days, if your house is warm I'd put them in the fridge so the frosting doesn't melt.
