Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 170 grams unsalted butter
- 200 grams granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 50 grams brown sugar (light or dark)
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and 100 grams of the granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until combined. The dough should come together into a soft ball.
Split the dough into two equal portions. Flatten each into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
In the meantime, mix the remaining granulated sugar (100 grams), ground cinnamon, and brown sugar in a small bowl to create the cinnamon-sugar filling.
Once the dough is chilled, roll out one portion on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 1/4-inch thick.
Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with milk to help the filling stick, then evenly sprinkle half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the surface.
Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log, sealing the seam with a little milk. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for another 30 minutes. Repeat with the second portion of dough.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Using a sharp knife, slice each log into 1/4-inch thick pinwheels and place them on the prepared baking sheets about 1 inch apart.
Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your cinnamon sugar pinwheel cookies with a warm cup of tea or coffee and enjoy!
