Ingredients
Scale
Dough
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp milk
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon until evenly combined.
- Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, cream the softened butter and packed brown sugar together until the mixture is fluffy and well combined. Then, add the egg and vanilla extract and mix until smooth.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet butter mixture, stirring until a uniform dough forms.
- Form Cookies: Use a tablespoon to scoop dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.
- Bake: Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown around the edges.
- Prepare Glaze: While cookies cool, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon in a small bowl until smooth.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the cinnamon glaze over the cooled cookies, then serve and enjoy the delightful cinnamon roll-inspired flavors.
Notes
- Ensure butter is softened, not melted, for perfect cookie texture.
- Spacing cookies 2 inches apart is important to prevent them from merging during baking.
- Allow cookies to cool completely before glazing to avoid melting the glaze.
- Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- For a stronger cinnamon flavor, consider adding a pinch more cinnamon to the dough or glaze.
