Cinnamon Roll Cookies
These cinnamon roll cookies are soft sugar cookies filled with cinnamon sugar, melt-in-your-mouth like butter cookies, and topped with sweet glaze.
Ingredients
For the dough
- ¾ Cup Unsalted Butter (Room temperature)
- ¾ Cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Pinch Salt
- 2 ¼ Cups All-purpose Flour
For the filling
- 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter (Melted)
- ⅓ Cup Granulated Sugar (Or Brown Sugar)
- 2 tsp Cinnamon
For the icing
- 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Water
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat the room temperature butter until smooth. Add the sugar and mix until combined. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and salt, and mix until well incorporated.
- Gradually add the flour while mixing on low speed with a dough hook attachment until the dough comes together and is not sticky. If you are not using a mixer, start mixing with a wooden spoon and finish mixing with your hand.
- Place the dough between two sheets of baking paper and roll it out to a thickness of 4-5mm. Remove the top baking paper and trim the dough into a rectangle. Re-roll any excess dough as needed.
- Brush the rolled dough with melted butter.
- Combine the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Using the bottom baking paper for support, carefully roll the dough into a tight log starting from one long edge. Wrap the log in plastic wrap to secure and chill in the fridge for 30-40 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 165°C (329°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Slice the chilled dough log into 2cm thick rounds and place them on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the tray before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the icing, whisk powdered sugar and water together until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
- Let the icing set before serving.
