Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Filling

  • ½ cup brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
  3. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
  4. Shape the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling over the dough surface.
  5. Roll and Slice: Carefully roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Slice the log into ½-inch thick cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can add a simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk for extra sweetness.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 5 days.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with vegan margarine and an egg replacer.
  • Make sure not to overbake to keep the cookies soft and chewy.
