Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Cinnamon Roll Cookies
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar for about 3 minutes until light and fluffy.
- Add in 1 large egg and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, beating until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar with 1 tablespoon of ground cinnamon.
- On a piece of parchment paper, spread half of the cookie dough into a rough rectangle, sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough, and roll tightly into a log.
- Slice the dough roll into 1-inch thick rounds, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
- Remove cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes
Ensure the dough is not overmixed for tender and chewy cookies. Use softened butter for optimal texture.
