These Cinnamon Roll Cookies are another one of my lazy, Sunday kitchen experiments that turned into a happy accident. While I wanted Cinnabon and my husband had a craving for cookies.
So, of course, to save the family peace, I decided to put them together in one recipe. I use a soft cookie dough recipe for the main cookie part and I fill the roll with a buttery, cinnamon and sugar mixture. First, slice the roll into bite-size cookies then drizzle a milky-sugar glaze over the top for added design and texture.
To make Cinnamon Roll Cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 350 °F and line two baking sheets with baking parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk 3 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt.
In a separate large mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color.
Add 1 egg, 1 tablespoon of milk and 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract. Beat until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture to the bowl and continue mixing until completely combined.
Divide the dough into 2 equal pieces and roll out each piece onto a lightly floured surface into a 9x10-inch rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
In a small bowl, mix ¼ cup sugar with 2 teaspoons of cinnamon until combined.
Use the 2 tablespoons of melted butter to brush over the rectangles then sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture, evenly, over the top then tightly roll up each rectangle into a log shape. Slice into ½ -inch thick cookie discs and arrange on the prepared baking sheets about 1-inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes until golden.
Allow to cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes while preparing the glaze by whisking 2 tablespoons of milk with 1¼ cup of powdered sugar until well combined.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies then allow to set slightly, and serve!
