Equipment

  • Mixing Bowls
  • handheld mixer
  • stand mixer
  • baking sheet
  • Silicone Baking Mat
  • Rolling Pin

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 2.25 cups all-purpose flour spooned & leveled
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter softened to room temperature
  • 0.75 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract

Filling

  • 2 tablespoons butter melted and slightly cooled
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Icing

  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 0.5 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and beat as needed.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. If the dough is too soft, add 1 more tablespoon of flour.

Shaping

  • Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each into a rectangle about 9x7 inches and ¼-inch thick. Spread 1 tablespoon of melted butter onto each rectangle.
  • Mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over each rectangle. Roll each up into a 9-inch log. Chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Cut the chilled logs into ½ inch slices and place on baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-11 minutes until lightly browned. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Icing

  • Whisk all icing ingredients together and drizzle over cookies.

Notes

Baked cookies freeze well up to 3 months. You can chill dough for up to 2 days or freeze before rolling out. To thaw, refrigerate or let sit at room temperature.
