Ingredients
  

For the Cookie Dough
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour Sifted for best results
  • 1 cup Unsalted butter Softened at room temperature
  • 3/4 cup Granulated sugar For sweetening the dough
  • 1 large Egg Room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract Adds flavor to the dough
  • 1/2 teaspoon Baking soda Helps the cookies rise
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor
For the Cinnamon Sugar Filling
  • 3 tablespoons Ground cinnamon Main flavor ingredient
  • 1/2 cup Brown sugar For sweetness and moisture

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
Assembling the Cookies
  1. In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
  2. Roll out the cookie dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
  3. Spread the cinnamon-sugar filling evenly over the dough.
  4. Roll the dough tightly from one side to the other to form a log.
  5. Slice the log into equal pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  2. Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

These cookies are best enjoyed warm. You can drizzle chocolate or icing on top for a decorative touch, but they are also delicious plain. Store any leftovers in an airtight container.
