Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 300 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll each piece into a rectangular shape, about 5mm thick, on a floured surface.
Mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
Spread half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over one of the rolled-out dough rectangles.
Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one of the longer edges, to form a log. Repeat the process with the second piece of dough.
Wrap each dough log in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Remove the chilled dough logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1cm thick rounds using a sharp knife.
Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring enough space between each for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve and enjoy your homemade cinnamon swirl cookies!
