These Irresistible Cinnamon Roll Cookies are the perfect blend of two favorite treats—classic cookies and gooey cinnamon rolls. They have a soft, buttery cookie base swirled with cinnamon sugar and topped with a sweet glaze. All the cozy flavor of cinnamon rolls in cookie form, and much easier to make!

Ingredients

  • For the Cookie Dough:
  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons softened butter
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1–2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Slowly add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.
  5. Roll the dough into a rectangle on parchment paper.
  6. Spread softened butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon.
  7. Roll the dough tightly into a log and chill for at least 1 hour.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice chilled dough into rounds and place on a lined baking sheet.
  9. Bake for 9–11 minutes, until edges are set but centers are soft.
  10. Cool slightly, then drizzle with glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling for crunch.
  • Use a mix of cinnamon and nutmeg for deeper flavor.
  • Tint the glaze with food coloring for holidays.
  • Store in a container with a slice of bread to keep cookies soft.
  • Freeze the unglazed cookies for up to 2 months.
