Start by gathering your ingredients: all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, butter, sugar, and vanilla extract. To achieve the best texture, it's essential to mix the ingredients properly. Begin by creaming the softened butter and sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. This process introduces air into the mixture, which is crucial for a tender cookie.

Ingredients
  

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened to room temperature

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/4 cup granulated sugar

1 large egg, at room temperature

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)

1/2 cup frozen yogurt (choose your favorite flavor)

1/2 cup granulated sugar (for rolling)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for rolling)

1 cup chocolate chips (optional, for dipping)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until the mixture is light, fluffy, and pale in color.

    Add Wet Ingredients: Add the room-temperature egg, vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until all ingredients are fully incorporated. Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet mixture while mixing on low speed, until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing to maintain the dough's tenderness.

      Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes, allowing it to firm up for easier handling.

        Scoop the Frozen Yogurt: While the dough is chilling, use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion out balls of frozen yogurt (each about 1 tablespoon) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for about 1 hour until the yogurt balls are firm.

          Form the Cookie Bombs: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Once the dough is chilled, take about 1.5 tablespoons of dough and flatten it in your palm to create a disk. Place a frozen yogurt ball in the center of each disk, and carefully fold the dough over the yogurt, pinching the seams to seal it completely. Gently roll the filled dough into a smooth ball.

            Roll in Cinnamon Sugar: In a shallow bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Roll each cookie bomb in this cinnamon sugar mixture until they are fully coated.

              Bake: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the cookie bombs on it, leaving about 2 inches of space between each. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown while the centers appear slightly soft. They will firm up as they cool.

                Cool and Serve: Let the cookie bombs cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. If desired, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and serve them alongside as a delicious dipping sauce.

                    Presentation Tips: Arrange the cookie bombs on a decorative platter with a small bowl of melted chocolate in the center for dipping. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar around the platter for an appealing touch!
