1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1 cup powdered sugar
1–2 tablespoons milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
2. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.
4. Mix in the dry ingredients gradually to form a soft dough.
5. Divide dough into two discs, wrap, and chill for 1 hour.
6. Mix the cinnamon filling ingredients in a small bowl until smooth.
7. Roll out one dough disc into a rectangle; spread half the filling over it.
8. Tightly roll the dough into a log and repeat with the second disc.
9. Chill the logs for 30 minutes.
10. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment.
11. Slice each log into 1/2-inch rounds and place 2 inches apart on sheets.
12. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
13. Cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.
14. Whisk glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over cooled cookies.
Notes
Chill the dough before and after rolling to keep a tight swirl and perfect shape.
Don’t apply the glaze until cookies are completely cooled for the best finish.
Add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling for extra warmth and depth of flavor.
