Description
These cookies combine the flavors of cinnamon rolls and sugar cookies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Divide the dough in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough into a 12×16 inch rectangle.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled dough logs into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Place the cookies on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
Notes
- For best results, chill the dough for at least 2 hours before slicing and baking.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature.
