Description
Tender sugar-cookie dough swirled with a brown-sugar cinnamon ribbon, these cookies bring the comforting aroma of cinnamon rolls into a delightful portable format.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (about 113 g)
- ½ cup granulated sugar (about 100 g)
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed (about 110 g)
- 1 large egg
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- For the Filling:
- ½ cup brown sugar, packed (about 110 g)
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
- In a larger bowl, cream the butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth.
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
- Prepare the filling by mixing the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
- Transfer half of the dough onto parchment and shape into a rectangle (about 8×6 inches). Repeat with the other half if necessary.
- Evenly sprinkle the filling across the dough.
- Roll up the dough tightly into a log and press the seam to seal.
- Chill the log in the fridge for 10–15 minutes if too soft to slice.
- Slice the log into rounds about ½ inch thick, placing them on the baking sheet.
- Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are lightly golden and centers are set but still soft.
- Transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
These cookies are relatively high in sugar due to both the dough and the filling. For lower sugar, reduce granulated sugar and filling sugar. Store in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
