Description
Soft and chewy cinnamon roll sugar cookies with a delightful glaze.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- For the cinnamon filling:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the dough into two portions, flatten into discs, and wrap in plastic wrap. Chill for at least 1 hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Roll out one portion of the chilled dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush the surface with melted butter, sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Starting from the longer side, roll up the dough tightly into a log. Repeat with the second portion.
- Slice each log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and place them on prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 9–11 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.
Notes
- Ensure the dough is well chilled to make rolling and slicing easier.
- You can adjust the amount of cinnamon in the filling to your taste.
- For a thicker glaze, use less milk when preparing.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
