Expert Tips for Flawless Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies:

2. Cream Thoroughly: Ensure the butter and sugar are well-creamed to achieve that light and fluffy texture.
3. Layer Carefully: Layer the dough and cinnamon mixture precisely to get the perfect marble effect in every cookie.
4. Chill Before Baking: A quick chill in the freezer helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
5. Watch the Oven: Keep a close eye on the baking time to avoid overbaking and ensure the cookies stay soft and chewy.

This recipe combines the warmth of cinnamon rolls with the delightful bite of sugar cookies.

Ingredients:

• Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
• Cookies:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened but still cool to the touch
  • 1⅓ cups granulated sugar
  • 1¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the softened butter, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and salt until well combined. Freeze for 10 minutes.
2. Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in vanilla, egg, and egg yolk. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until combined.
3. Layer Dough and Filling: Divide the dough in half. Spread half in the bottom of the bowl, dot with half of the cinnamon mixture, then top with the remaining dough. Dot the top with the remaining cinnamon mixture.
4. Form Cookies: Scoop the dough into two-tablespoon portions, ensuring each has a mix of dough and cinnamon filling. Chill scooped dough on a plate in the freezer for 10 minutes.
5. Bake: Arrange dough balls on prepared baking sheets, spacing them a couple of inches apart. Bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes, or until edges start to brown but centers are soft.
6. Cool and Shape: Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If necessary, reshape cookies while they are still warm.
