Soft Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Who doesn’t love fresh cinnamon rolls to go with their morning coffee? Well, I do. I don’t have time right now to make full-fledged rolls, so I went with these Cinnamon Roll Cookies!

The recipes I’ve seen are usually more shortbread-like cookies filled with cinnamon sugar and rolled into spirals. I prefer this softer version – kind of cake-like with a glaze icing.

Ingredients

• 3/4 C butter, softened
• 1 C sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3 C flour
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 3/4 C buttermilk

Filling

• 2 tbsp butter, softened
• 1/2 C brown sugar
• 1-2 tbsp cinnamon

Glaze

• 2 C powdered sugar
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3-4 tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Cream butter and sugar together until creamy, and mix in the vanilla.  Add the baking soda to the buttermilk and stir.  Add one cup of the flour slowly to the butter mixture until combined.  Pour in the buttermilk/soda and mix until combined.  Finish by adding the rest of the flour.  Mix until just combined (don't over mix).  Put the dough into the refrigerator for at least one hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 350°.  Prepare the cookie sheets with parchment paper or spray the sheets with cooking spray.
3. Generously flour your counter or baking marble.  Turn out the dough onto the flour and shape into an approximately 12" x 8" rectangle, about 1/4" thick.  (Yes, it's a very sticky dough, be patient!) Spread the butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle with the brown sugar and cinnamon.  
4. Roll the dough from the long side, slowly nudging up and as tightly as possible without breaking the dough.  Don't worry if there are some little places that open up - just lightly pinch them closed.
