Ingredients
Cookie 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
Cinnamon Filling:
½ cup brown sugar, packed
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream softened butter with both sugars until light and fluffy.
Beat in egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Divide dough in half. On parchment paper, roll out one half into a rectangle.
Sprinkle with half the cinnamon-sugar filling. Roll up dough tightly into a log.
Slice into ~½-inch thick rounds and place on prepared baking sheet.
Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Notes
For neater slices, chill the dough log for 10–15 minutes before slicing.
Add a simple glaze (powdered sugar + milk) for an iced cinnamon roll look.
Great for holiday cookie trays or gifting.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
