Ingredients
Scale
- 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
Instructions
- 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 eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract. Gradually add dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon to make the cinnamon swirl filling.
- 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 tightly and slice into ¾-inch thick cookies.
- Place cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Let cool slightly before adding icing or glaze if desired.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened before mixing for easy creaming.
- Avoid overmixing to keep the cookies tender.
- Chill rolled dough before slicing to prevent spreading.
- Adjust baking time for ovens with different calibrations.
