- FOR THE FROSTING:

- 7-3/4 ounces, weight Brown Sugar
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 ounces, fluid Milk
- 1 teaspoon Pure Vanilla Extract
- 11-1/4 ounces, weight Confectioners Sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350F degrees.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, the baking powder and the cinnamon.
- In a big bowl, cream the sugars and the butter. Add the egg and the vanilla extract and mix until well blended.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the creamed mixture and beat just until combined, scraping down the bowl, especially the bottom.
- Roll the dough on a floured surface and use a cookie cutter to cut into shapes. Place on parchment lined baking sheets and bake for 9-12 minutes, depending on the size of your cutter.
- Let them sit a few minutes on the sheet, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
- While the cookies are baking, make the caramel frosting. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Blend in the brown sugar and the salt. Cook on low for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Finally, add the milk.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and add the vanilla. Let cool and then add the powdered sugar.
- When the cookies are completely cool, go ahead and frost them. Let the frosted cookies sit overnight for the frosting to settle well.
