Description

These delightful Cinnamon Roll Cookies capture the sweet, warm flavors of traditional cinnamon rolls in a soft, chewy cookie form. Perfectly spiced with cinnamon and topped with a creamy cinnamon glaze, these cookies offer a comforting treat that’s easy to make and wonderfully satisfying for any occasion.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp milk
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until evenly combined for consistent flavor.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and packed brown sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy, which helps create a tender cookie.
  4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Beat in the egg and vanilla extract to the creamed butter mixture, mixing until smooth and fully incorporated.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined to form a soft dough without overmixing.
  6. Shape Cookies: Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough and place them evenly on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each to allow for spreading.
  7. Bake Cookies: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown, signaling they are perfectly baked.
  8. Prepare Glaze: While the cookies cool, mix together powdered sugar, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until smooth and drizzleable.
  9. Glaze Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the cinnamon glaze generously over the top for a sweet finishing touch.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Allow the glaze to set slightly, then serve these delicious cinnamon roll-inspired cookies to your friends and family.

Notes

  • Ensure butter is softened to room temperature to achieve the best texture during creaming.
  • Do not overbake cookies to keep them soft and chewy; edges should be golden brown.
  • Let cookies cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting off.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 4 days.
  • For extra flavor, sprinkle a little extra cinnamon on top of the glaze before it sets.
