Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Cinnamon Filling
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually add the flour and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Make the cinnamon filling: In a separate small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Stir in the melted butter until the mixture is crumbly but moist.
- Roll out the dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Evenly spread the cinnamon filling over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Form the roll: Starting from one long edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log. Make sure the seam side is down to prevent unrolling during baking.
- Slice the cookies: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1/2-inch thick cookies and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced slightly apart.
- Bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the sliced cookies for 12-15 minutes or until they are lightly golden on the edges.
- Cool and serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon filling.
- These cookies can be drizzled with icing made from powdered sugar and milk for a classic cinnamon roll taste.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Make sure to slice the roll evenly for uniform baking.
