In a medium saucepan, melt the butter and let it simmer until the milk solids start to brown at the bottom. It will start to foam and it will be a medium honey color. Remove from heat and transfer to a heat-proof bowl and let solidify in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a stand mixer, beat chilled brown butter, softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until combined and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the egg, egg yolks, and vanilla extract then mix until just combined.
In a medium bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add this dry mixture to the stand mixer with the wet ingredients. Mix until fully combined.
Pour about 3 tablespoons of cinnamon sugar onto a small plate and set aside. If you don't have cinnamon sugar on hand, mix 2 tbsp of granulated sugar with 1 tbsp of cinnamon.
Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, take a full scoop of dough and in between your hands, flatten it out a bit (to where it's about 1/2 inch thick) and dip both sides into the cinnamon sugar mixture. Form the dough into a ball, where it should look like the cinnamon is marbled throughout. Place on the cookie sheet and gently flatten it with your fingers until the "disc" is approximately 2 1/4 inches in diameter. Repeat while spacing out the dough "discs" about 3 to 4 inches from each other.
Bake for 9-12 minutes or until golden and puffy. After 15 minutes the cookies can be transferred to a cooling rack. There will most likely be 2-3 batches of cookies being made. Remember that after the first batch, the pan will already be warm so the time baking time can be reduced (ex: the first batch took 11-12 minutes to become golden and puffy, but the second batch may only need to be in for 9-10 minutes)
To make the frosting: In a small mxing bowl, beat cream cheese and the 2 oz of butter together until smooth. Add in powdered sugar and mix until perfectly creamy. You can either spread it on top of the cookie like you would a cinnamon roll or to pipe it on in a swirl to give it more of a cinnamon roll identity.
