Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 55 grams Brown sugar, packed
- 1 piece Large eggs
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 270 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 100 grams Brown sugar (for filling), packed
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon Heavy cream (for filling)
- 120 grams Powdered sugar (for glaze)
- 1.5 tablespoons Milk (for glaze)
- 0.5 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract (for glaze)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, cinnamon, and heavy cream to form the cinnamon filling. It should have a spreadable consistency.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle about 0.5 cm (1/4 inch) thick.
Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough.
Carefully roll the dough tightly into a log starting from one long side. Place the log seam-side down and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm up.
Once chilled, slice the dough log into 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick rounds and place them onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cookies cool, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag. Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy these delicious Cinnamon Bun Cookies with your favorite cup of coffee or tea!
