cinnamon roll cookie

These thick, buttery cookies have all the flavors of cinnamon rolls in cookie form!

Cinnamon Roll Cookies

butter, melted

dark brown sugar

cinnamon

butter, room temperature

sugar

vanilla

heavy cream

baking powder

salt

all purpose flour

milk

For the filling, in a medium bowl combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine the butter and the granulated sugar, mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes. Add the egg, vanilla, cream, baking powder, and salt.  Mix for 1 minute, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary. Turn the mixer to low and add in the flour, mixing until just combined.

On a lightly floured piece of wax or parchment paper, press the dough out into a 15&#215;10 rectangle. This doesn&#8217;t have to be exact or neat.

Spread the filling mixture on top of the dough, leaving about an inch at the edges. Roll the dough up tightly from the long edge.

Cut the dough into 10 equal slices. Roll each slice into a ball and place on a lightly floured plate or baking sheet. Place into the freezer for 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place 5 of the dough balls onto the prepared pan, leaving space for them to spread. Place the remaining dough in the refrigerator while the first batch bakes.

Bake for 15-17 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.

For the icing, in a medium bowl combine the powdered sugar, butter and 1 tablespoon milk. Whisk until no lumps remain. Add more milk if a thinner icing is desired.

Dip the tops of the cooled cookies into the icing, or drizzle on top. Allow the icing to set.

Full of cinnamon and brown sugar, Cinnamon Roll Cookies feature cream cheese icing so they taste like real rolls! Tangy, sweet, and so cute.

unsalted butter, softened (1 stick)

brown sugar

vanilla extract (or vanilla bean paste)

all-purpose flour

unsalted butter

cream cheese (softened)

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.

In the bowl to your stand mixer, use the paddle attachment to beat the butter with the brown sugar on high until smooth.  About 1-2 minutes.

Add the vanilla extract and 1 egg and continue beating until mixed together, about 2 minutes.  It will look a little goopy at this point, that’s okay.

Add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and a pinch of salt.  Mix on low until completely blended and the dough becomes a little stiffer.  It will still be sticky at this point but if  you wet your fingertips with water, it will stick less to your fingers.

Shape into a rectangle as best as you can on a piece of plastic wrap.  Wrap completely and chill in the fridge for 45-60 minutes.

Once the dough has chilled, we’ll make the filling.  In a small bowl, use a fork to mix together the melted butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.  Set aside for a minute.

Place the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface.  Roll the dough until it is about 1/4 of an inch thick.  It will be approximately 24 inches x 18 inches in size.

Spread the cinnamon sugar mixture in an even layer to the edge of the dough.

Start rolling the long side of the dough into a log.  Wrap the log in plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for 30 minutes.

Once chilled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the log into 1/2 inch slices.

Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheet leaving 1-1.5 inches of space between each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.  The cookies will be toasted around the edges and the dough will appear “dry”.  Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving to a cooling rack to cool completely, about 20-30 minutes.

Once the cookies are cooled, we’ll start the glaze.  In a small bowl, use a fork to mash the cream cheese until smooth.

Add the vanilla, powdered sugar and heavy cream and use the fork to whisk the ingredients together.  The glaze should be thin enough to drizzle but thick enough to stay put once it is drizzled.
