Step-by-Step Instructions for Irresistible Cinnamon Roll Cookies

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, followed by the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture on low speed, stopping as soon as dough forms.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
  7. Spread half of the cookie dough on parchment, sprinkle half of the filling mixture, and roll into a log.
  8. Chill the rolled dough in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes before slicing into rounds.
  9. Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets.
  10. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges are golden and centers are set. Let cool slightly before serving.
