Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Filling
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cookies.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In another bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light in color.
- Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture until the batter is smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until just combined to form the cookie dough.
- Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon for the filling.
- Assemble the Dough Roll: On a piece of parchment paper, spread half of the dough into a rectangle. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling over this dough layer, then carefully roll it up tightly like a cinnamon roll.
- Slice into Cookies: Slice the dough roll into rounds about ½ inch thick, arranging them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each cookie.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Remove and let them cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the butter is softened, not melted, for creaming to get the best texture.
- Chilling the dough before assembly can make rolling easier but is not mandatory.
- Store baked cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra flavor, drizzle with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk once cooled.
