Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  2. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing well.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the wet mixture until a dough forms.
  4. Divide dough into two portions, shape into rectangles, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 1 hour.
  5. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside.
  6. Roll out one chilled dough portion to 1/4-inch thick. Spread with softened butter and sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
  7. Roll the dough tightly into a log. Wrap and chill for another 30 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  9. Slice the chilled dough log into 1/2-inch slices and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  10. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool slightly.
  11. Mix powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to make the glaze. Drizzle over warm cookies and allow to set before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened for easy mixing.
  • Chilling the dough helps maintain shape.
  • Adjust baking time based on your oven.
