2. Ingredients for the Perfect Cinnamon Swirl Cookies

Gather the following ingredients to create these warm and inviting Cinnamon Roll Cookies:

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ cup brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• Optional: icing or glaze for drizzling

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Cozy Day Cookies

Prepare the Cookie Dough

In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. For an even smoother process, use the Crock-Pot Family-Size Slow Cooker for prep, if you plan to chill or store dough.

Make the Cinnamon Swirl Filling

In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

Assemble the Cookies

Divide the cookie dough into two equal parts. Roll each into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread half of the cinnamon sugar mixture over each rectangle. Roll up each rectangle tightly and slice into ¾-inch thick cookies. For uniform slices, chill the dough for about 30 minutes before slicing.

Bake to Perfection

Place the cookie slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool slightly before adding optional icing or glaze.

4. Storage Tips for Freshness and Flavor

To keep your Cinnamon Roll Cookies fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, place the cookies in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to a week. You can also freeze the cookies for up to 3 months; ensure they are wrapped tightly to prevent freezer burn, and thaw at room temperature before serving. Using a reliable storage set like the JoyJolt Airtight Glass Food Storage Set helps maintain freshness.

5. Serving Suggestions to Elevate Your Cozy Day Cookies

These irresistible cookie recipes are perfect when served warm with a cup of hot coffee, tea, or even cold milk. For extra indulgence, drizzle with a simple icing glaze, or sprinkle with powdered sugar. They also pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for a decadent treat. To enhance your baking experience, consider the Ninja SLUSHi Pro RapidChill Drink Maker for cold beverages alongside your cookies.

6. Tips for Perfectly Baking Cinnamon Swirl Cookies

• Ensure the butter is softened for smooth creaming.
• Do not overmix the dough to maintain a tender crumb.
• Chill the rolled dough before slicing to prevent spreading during baking.
• Adjust baking time based on your oven to avoid overbaking.

7. Variations to Customize Your Cozy Day Cookies

Enhance your cinnamon swirl cookies with additions such as chopped nuts, raisins, or a splash of bourbon in the dough. For a festive holiday twist, add a dash of nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the cinnamon filling. These small fun modifications can turn your baking into an exciting flavor adventure. Consider using the Fullstar Ultimate Veggie Prep Master for chopping ingredients easily for other recipes.
