Soft and Sweet: Perfect Cinnamon Roll Cookies

These Cinnamon Roll Cookies bring the comforting flavors of a cinnamon roll into a convenient cookie form. They’re soft in the middle, slightly crisp on the edges, and draped in a smooth vanilla icing.

Here’s how to ensure your cookies come out perfectly, with tips to make the process enjoyable and straightforward.

Pro Tips for Irresistible Cinnamon Roll Cookies:

1. Proper Creaming: Start by creaming the butter and sugar until smooth. This ensures a light cookie texture.
2. Even Rolling: Roll out your dough evenly to avoid uneven baking and to ensure each cookie has the perfect swirl.
3. Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate the dough logs to firm them up, which makes slicing much easier.
4. Monitor Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake to prevent overbrowning.
5. Decorate After Cooling: Wait until the cookies are completely cool before adding the icing to prevent it from melting.

These cookies offer a delightful twist on two beloved desserts, bringing cinnamon roll joy in a cookie format.

Ingredients:

• 2 ¼ cups (281g) all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
• ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup (170g) unsalted butter, softened
• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• Filling:
  • 2 Tablespoons (28g) butter, melted
  • ¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
• Icing:
  • 1 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons (45ml) milk
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough: Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl. In a separate bowl, cream the butter and sugar until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, mixing well. Gradually add the dry ingredients until combined. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour.
2. Shape and Fill: Divide the dough in half. Roll each half into a 9x7 inch rectangle on a floured surface. Brush each with melted butter, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, then roll up tightly. Chill the logs for at least 2 hours.
3. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Cut the chilled dough into ½ inch slices. Place on lined baking sheets and bake for 10-11 minutes.
4. Cool and Ice: Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Once cool, drizzle with vanilla icing.
5. Enjoy: Serve these delightful cookies once the icing has set, or store them in an airtight container.
