Ingredients

Units Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Filling:

  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking your cookies evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to evenly distribute the leavening and spice throughout the dough.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a separate bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until the mixture is fluffy and light, which helps create a tender cookie texture.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the large egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars until the mixture is smooth and combined, adding moisture and flavor to the dough.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually mix the dry ingredient mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the cookies tender.
  6. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine the packed brown sugar and ground cinnamon to create the sweet and fragrant filling.
  7. Assemble the Cookies: Spread half of the dough onto parchment paper into a rectangular shape, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling evenly over it, then carefully roll the dough up tightly into a log to create the cinnamon roll effect.
  8. Slice and Arrange: Slice the dough log into rounds about ½ inch thick and place them spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  9. Bake: Bake the cookie rounds in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until they turn golden brown around the edges, indicating they are cooked through and ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • For best results, chill the dough slightly before slicing to make cutting easier.
  • Use parchment paper for easy cleanup and to prevent baking sheet sticking.
  • Cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Optional: Drizzle with icing made from powdered sugar and milk for an extra sweet touch.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep cookies soft and chewy.
