If a fluffy, chewy sugar cookie and cinnamon roll might have a child collectively those cookies may well be it! , Like, four real! The style is a little like a fluffy, chewy sugar cookie but with gooey swirls of cinnamon sugar and cream cheese glaze like a cinnamon roll. It’s such a proper pairing and so they go so effectively with espresso omg!

Ingredients COOKIE 3/4 cup granulated sugar 2 tablespoons butter-flavored shortening 2 tablespoons butter room temperature 1 egg room temperature 1/4 cup buttermilk room temperature 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/8 teaspoon salt SUGAR CINNAMON MIXTURE 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 tablespoon cinnamon 2 tablespoons butter melted CREAM CHEESE FROSTING  2 oz. cream cheese room temperature 2 tablespoons butter room temperature 1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons powdered sugar 2-3 teaspoons milk would possibly need extra or plenty less to gain desired texture vanilla extract splash Instructions Preheat oven to 350 F. To make the cookies, cream collectively sugar, butter, and shortening. Mix in egg, buttermilk and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, sift collectively flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add dry meals into rainy meals and stir till a delicate dough forms. Place dough in a plastic bag and flatten. Refrigerate for 1-hour or longer. (This step is a MUST. Overnight is best.) Meanwhile, make the cinnamon combination by using way of combining brown sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. When the dough is chilled be capable to work quickly. (The dough will get sticky simply due to the fact it warms up. It ought to stay tremendous chilly whereas handling) Mix collectively 1 tablespoon of flour + 1 tablespoon of powder sugar and generously flour a nonstick work floor (like a silicone baking mat or parchment paper) with a few of the <g class="gr_ gr_173 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace" id="173" data-gr-id="173">mixture</g>. Be certain to also coat your fingers and rolling pin. Roll chilly dough out right into a 12X 9 rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. (Be certain to hold your fingers and the rolling pin coated effectively within the flour-sugar mixture.) Brush the floor of dough with melted butter. Immediately sprinkle on brown sugar combination in an even layer. Press it down into the dough in basic terms a bit. Starting with the longest side, gently, but speedy roll dough right into a tight log. (keep your fingers floured and upload extra flour combination to the nonstick floor if needed) Roll log in plastic wrap and location on a pan/tray. Freeze for 30 minutes or till the roll is agency sufficient to chop with out squishing for those who cut it. Carefully slice the cookies about 1-inch thick utilizing a serrated knife. ( I cut off the ends first since they're by using way of no means pretty) Place cookies on parchment paper 2-inches apart. VERY IMPORTANT: Press the cookie rolls gently so that they're tighter. Seal the ends of the cookies by using way of urgent them into the dough. (This will hold the cookies from unraveling whereas baking. Make certain the cookie roll is wrapped good and tight.) Bake for 10-12 minutes (cookies MUST be chilly when going into the oven.) Refrigerate the leftover dough till capable for the subsequent batch so that they reside cold. (Check on the cookies on the 6-minute mark to make certain they aren't unraveling. If they are, pull them out and speedy press the seam again collectively with a again of a spoon) Meanwhile, train the glaze by using way of combining cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. When cookies are capable (they might be relatively underdone), permit them sit on the baking sheet for 2 minutes earlier than shifting to a cooling rack. Carefully brush hot cookies with glaze, permitting the glaze to soften down into the folds of the cookie. Let glaze set after which shop cookies in an hermetic container among rows of parchment paper. Notes These cookies are truly simple as soon as you get the hold of how tight they should be earlier than going into the oven. I mean doing a experiment batch with 1 or 2 cookies earlier than cooking up the total batch. This glaze doesn't harden completely. If you're searching for a glaze which will harden, removed the butter.

The second I saw those cookies pop-up on Pinterest in basic terms a couple of years ago I knew I vital them in my life! Every yr round this time, I’d say I was going to make them but by using way of no means got round to it. The evening time earlier than I made those I dreamed about cinnamon rolls and cookies.  Then I activate the tv the subsequent morning and I see Pioneer Woman making cinnamon roll cookies!

I also awakened that morning to a quite severe snow storm! Being snowed in all the time places me within the temper to bake! If that’s now not God telling me I ought to make and devour a total batch of cinnamon roll cookies, I don’t recognise what else is!

I’ve got so many cookies I desire to take a look at earlier than the yr is out but those cinnamon roll cookies had been first on the listing of waistline crashers. I now sit right right here on the sofa typing to the pals in my head (you) whereas I devour those cookies with my morning coffee.

*Quick query now that I’m pondering about it* Am I the in basic terms 1 who occasionally talks to their meals earlier than they take a bite? Like “hello my little pretty” or anything like that?  Ok, simply checking.

Thank God for this snow and being trapped within the dwelling simply due to the fact it took me a number of instances to get those cookies the method I vital them.  I wasn’t going for a real sugar cookie base and it appeared most recipes I got here throughout had that in mind. I vital a chewy yet fluffy and “bready” cookie with a gooey cinnamony heart like a cinnamon roll (because everybody is aware of that’s the greatest side of a cinnamon roll!) Oh and a cream cheese glaze! Must.Have.Cream.Cheese. Glaze.

These cinnamon roll cookies are so simple to make but there's one chant you ought to ALWAYS hold in mind. KEEP IT COLD! (You can sing it to any beat you want. I wish singing it to the track of Focus by using way of H.E.R but whatevs)

Here’s the method to get the BEST CINNAMON ROLL COOKIES!
1. The dough MUST be chilled for at the very least an hour. Overnight is best. I’m difficult headed as heck and thought, “psshhh, hour shmour!” I chilled it for 15 minutes and ended up with a dough that was waaay too delicate and sticky. I couldn’t even roll it up! Everything simply fell aside and tore!! Nooo!!

2. The dough MUST be relatively frozen for those who slice the roll.  When you roll the chilly dough up right into a log you ought to location it within the freezer so that it companies up a bit. It makes it so a lot simpler to slice and the little swirls appear a lot neater.

3. The cookies MUST be chilly after they go into the oven. If now not they may also additionally just unfold and turn into flat and chewy

Oh and one final MAJOR factor to remember: You MUST press the cookies a little as soon as you cut them so that they're tremendous tight and the seam is pressed into the cookie earlier than baking. If now not the cookie with “blossom” and unfold out rather of staying in its lovely little-rolled sort (see the video if this sounds confusing). It’s greatest to do a experiment batch with NULL cookies simply to get the hold of it earlier than whipping up an total batch. This recipe does have a little bit of a studying curve so don’t take a look at those the day of an event.

I had so a lot fun making those cookies!  I’m truly stunned I don’t see those cookies extra typically at bake gross income and cookie swaps! They have such a huge presentation which makes them truly difficult to move by.
