Cinnamon Roll Cookies
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:
