Equipment

  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Rolling Pin
  • Baking Sheets
  • Plastic Wrap

Ingredients

For the Cookie Base

  • 2 cups All-Purpose Flour Use as needed for rolling out.
  • 1 tbsp Baking Powder Ensures a light, fluffy texture.
  • 1/2 tsp Salt Enhances sweetness and balances flavor.
  • 170 g Unsalted Butter Softened to room temperature.
  • 150 g Granulated Sugar Sweetens the base.
  • 1 large Egg At room temperature.
  • 2 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract For flavor.

For the Cinnamon Filling

  • 28 g Filling Butter Melted and cooled.
  • 50 g Granulated Sugar Sweetens the filling.
  • 1 tbsp Ground Cinnamon For flavor.

For the Icing

  • 120 g Confectioners’ Sugar For icing glaze.
  • 45 ml Milk For icing consistency.
  • 1/2 tsp Vanilla Extract Enhances icing flavor.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until creamy and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Add in the room temperature egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until just incorporated.
  • Divide the dough into two portions and roll each into a 9x7 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Spread melted butter over the surface, then sprinkle generously with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  • Carefully roll each rectangle tightly into logs, starting from one long side. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Once chilled, slice each log into 1/2 inch rounds and space them on lined baking sheets. Bake for about 10-11 minutes.
  • Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Drizzle with the prepared icing once slightly cooled.

Notes

For added crunch, consider topping with chopped nuts. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
