How to Make Cinnamon Bun Cookies
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup white sugar
1 large egg, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 and 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons cinnamon
- Place 3/4 cup butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and beat for 2 minutes. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Add half of the flour mixture to the sugar-butter mixture, combine, and then add the remaining half.
- Flour a clean surface and roll out the dough to 1/2″ thickness, in the shape of a large rectangle. (You can do this in two batches, if desired.) Brush the remaining 1/4 cup of butter on the dough (you may use slightly less, but make sure all of the dough is buttered).
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Sprinkle all over the cookie dough. Roll the cookie dough into a log, long end to long end. Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350F and remove the cookie dough log from the fridge. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. Trim off the edges (about 2-3″) and discard. Slice the remaining dough into 1/4″ thick slices. Place the slices on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet (or silicone mat-lined) at least 1″ apart.
- Bake for 8-12 minutes, until just slightly golden on the edges.
