Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients for the cookie dough
  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Group: Ingredients for the cinnamon filling
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
Group: Ingredients for the glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowls
  • Spatula
  • Baking sheet Lined with parchment paper.

Method
 

  1. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until well-combined.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy—about 3 to 5 minutes.
  4. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, continuing to mix until fully combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mix. Use a spatula to fold gently until just combined.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Add in the softened butter and mix until it becomes a spreading consistency.
  7. Roll out the cookie dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly across the dough.
  8. Cut the roll into 1-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes.
  9. While the cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl.
  10. Once the cookies are cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
