For Icing:

- 3tbspmilk
- ½tsppure vanilla extract
Instructions
Dough:
-
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
-
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter for about 1 minute on high speed until creamy. At medium-high speed, beat in the granulated sugar for about about 2 minutes until completely creamed and smooth.Â
-
Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat on high for about 1 minute until combined. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
-
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. If the dough still seems too soft, add 1 tablespoon of flour until it is a better consistency for rolling.
To Shape and Fill the Dough:
-
Divide the dough into 2 equal parts. Roll each portion out in a rectangle of 9×7-inches onto a floured silicone baking mat or floured parchment paper to about ÂĽ-inch thickness.
-
Spread 1 tablespoon of melted butter onto each rectangle. Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle evenly over each.
-
Working slowly, tightly roll up each rectangle into a 9-inch log. If the dough is cracking at all, use fingers to smooth it out, with some cracks just fine.
-
Chill the logs of dough for about 2 hours.*
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
-
Remove the dough logs from the refrigerator. Cut into ½-inch slices. Place the slices onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
-
Bake for about 10 to 11 minutes, until lightly browned on the sides. Remove from the oven, allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before icing.
Icing:
-
Whisk the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and vanilla extract together.
-
Drizzle over the cookies, serve, and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
- *Optional: Carefully transfer the logs to a cutting board or plate and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
- Cover and store cookies at room temperature for up to 5 days.
