Ingredients

Scale

Dough

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 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. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated, scraping down the sides as needed.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring or beating on low speed until a soft dough forms.
  6. Prepare Filling: In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling until evenly combined.
  7. Roll Out Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and gently roll it into a rectangle approximately ¼ inch thick.
  8. Add Filling: Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar filling mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough surface.
  9. Form Logs: Carefully roll the dough along the longer edge to form a log, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  10. Slice Cookies: Using a sharp knife, slice the dough log into ½ to ¾ inch thick cookies and place them spaced about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheet.
  11. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers remain soft.
  12. 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!

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, consider adding a cream cheese glaze drizzled on top once cooled.
  • Make sure the butter is softened but not melted to achieve the perfect cookie texture.
  • These cookies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
  • Chilling the dough before rolling can help with easier handling and cleaner slices.
  • Use fresh cinnamon for the best, most vibrant flavor.
