Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Filling:
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Vanilla Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare cinnamon filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll out dough: Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface into a 12×9-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Roll and slice: Roll the dough into a log, slice into rounds, and place on baking sheets. Bake for 9–11 minutes.
- Make glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for the glaze. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Notes
- Chilling the dough log for 20–30 minutes before slicing helps keep the swirls neat.
- These cookies store well in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
