Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- Optional: Glaze or icing for extra sweetness
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and ground cinnamon; set aside.
- Divide the dough in half. Roll each portion into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over each dough rectangle, then gently roll into a tight log.
- Slice each log into even rounds and place onto a prepared baking sheet.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and fragrant. Cool slightly on a wire rack.
Notes
- Use softened butter for better mixing and a tender crumb.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before slicing for cleaner swirls.
- Drizzle with glaze or icing for an extra sweet touch.
- Ensure even slices for consistent baking results.
