Description
This Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies Recipe brings together the soft, chewy texture of sugar cookies with the mouthwatering flavor of cinnamon rolls, making them perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ¼ cup granulated sugar (for filling)
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon (for filling)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add in the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Beat until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar with ground cinnamon for the filling.
- Take about 2 tablespoons of dough and flatten it into a disk. Sprinkle a teaspoon of the cinnamon-sugar filling onto the center, then fold the dough over the filling and roll it into a ball.
- Place the balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. The centers may look slightly underbaked, but they’ll continue to cook on the baking sheet.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Chilling the dough for about 30 minutes can help prevent excessive spreading during baking.
