Cinnamon Roll Cookies
We used our favorite sugar cookie dough recipe for these ultra-buttery and perfectly spiced cookies. Betcha can't eat just one!Tip: we like making a thicker glaze for these cookies to give them a decorative drizzle. If you'd prefer to dip the tops of your cookies instead of drizzle, add 2 additional tablespoons of milk to your glaze.
Ingredients
FOR COOKIES
- 3 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
- 1 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1 c. granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tbsp. milk
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
FOR FILLING
- 2 tbsp. melted butter
- 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
FOR GLAZE
- 1 1/4 c. powdered sugar

Instructions
- Heat oven to 350° and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale in color. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined, then add flour mixture gradually until totally combined. Divide dough in half.
- On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a 9"-x-10" rectangle, about 1/4" thick.
- In small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush rectangles with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Tightly roll up each rectangle into a tight log.
- Slice into ½"-thick slices and transfer to prepared baking sheets, spaced 1" apart. Bake until lightly golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes.
- In small bowl, combine powdered sugar with milk and drizzle over cookies.
