Dough Ingredients

  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cups unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 0.75 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Filling Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 0.25 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Icing Ingredients

  • 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Making the Cookies

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined, about 1 minute.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. If the dough is too soft, add 1 more tablespoon of flour.
  • Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each portion out in a rectangle to about ¼" thickness. Spread melted butter and sprinkle sugar-cinnamon mixture over each.
  • Tightly roll up the rectangles into 9-inch logs. Chill the logs for at least 2 hours, or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Remove dough logs from the refrigerator, cut into ½ inch slices and place them on baking sheets 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool before icing.
  • Whisk all icing ingredients together and drizzle over cooled cookies.
  • Store cookies at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

Baked cookies freeze well up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Chilling the dough can be done for up to 2 days. You can freeze the cookie dough before rolling it out.
