Description

Irresistible Cinnamon Roll Cookies combine the buttery softness of sugar cookies with swirls of cinnamon-sugar and a sweet vanilla glaze. These cookies are a cozy treat perfect for holidays, gifting, or any sweet craving.


Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon salt

¾ cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup brown sugar, packed (for filling)

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for filling)

1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted (for filling)

1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)

2 tablespoons milk (for glaze)

½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for glaze)


Instructions

1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.

4. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients to form a smooth dough.

5. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a ¼-inch thick rectangle.

6. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.

7. Gently press the filling into the dough, then roll it tightly into a log.

8. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

9. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled log into ¼-inch thick rounds.

10. Place slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

11. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden.

12. Cool for 5 minutes on the sheet, then transfer to a wire rack.

13. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla to make glaze.

14. Drizzle glaze over the cooled cookies and let set.

Notes

For sharper spirals, chill the dough overnight before slicing.

Avoid overbaking to keep them soft and chewy.

Store unglazed cookies in the freezer and glaze fresh before serving.
