Ingredients:
- 1 cup (2 sticks) (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) (113g) unsalted butter, softened
- ¾ cup (150g) packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 2 cups (240g) powdered sugar
- ¼ cup (60ml) milk (any kind)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a large rectangle (about 12x18 inches).
- Evenly spread the cinnamon sugar filling over the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log.
- Slice the log into approximately ¾-inch thick rounds.
- Place the cookie slices on parchment-lined baking sheets, leaving space between each cookie. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add more milk, a teaspoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
