# Steps:
01 -
In a bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda. Add butter, egg yolks, and vanilla extract. Mix until a soft dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

In another bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and cinnamon until smooth. Set aside.

Ensure the dough is chilled adequately to prevent spreading during baking.

Cream cheese filling should remain soft but not runny for ease of handling.
