Ingredients
Scale
Sugar Cookie Dough:
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon Filling:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Glaze:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
- Prepare Cinnamon Filling: Mix the melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over each dough rectangle.
- Roll and Chill: Roll up each rectangle into a log, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
- Bake: Slice chilled dough logs, place on baking sheets, and bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes.
- Glaze: Whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
Notes
- Chilling the dough is essential for clean spiral slices.
- You can add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for extra flavor or freeze the dough logs for later use.
