Ingredients

10 servings

•

2 cups all-purpose flour
•

1 tablespoon white sugar
•

1 teaspoon salt
•

1 cup chilled unsalted butter, cut into cubes
•

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

•

¼ cup cold water
•

¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
•

¼ cup white sugar
•

2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Sift flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, and salt together into a bowl. Cut in chilled butter with a pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles small peas. Add vanilla. Mix in cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough comes together and forms a ball.
Divide dough into 2 pieces and wrap with plastic wrap; chill until firm, at least 1 hour.
Beat softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl to make filling.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured work surface to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut dough into rectangles with a knife. Drop 1 tablespoon of filling onto half of the rectangles. Cover with remaining rectangles. Press edges with a fork to seal. Poke a few holes in the top of each pastry with a toothpick.
Arrange pastries on the lined baking sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool pastries on a wire rack, about 15 minutes.
