Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough Ingredients
  • 2.5 cups all-purpose flour Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for best results.
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup light brown sugar, packed
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
Icing Ingredients
  • 0.75 cup powdered sugar For icing
  • 1-2 tbsp milk For icing, adjust for desired consistency.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, use a hand mixer to beat together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well blended.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Cinnamon Swirl and Cookie Forming
  1. In a small bowl, mix the ground cinnamon and 2 tablespoons of brown sugar to create the cinnamon swirl.
  2. Scoop tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten them slightly. Sprinkle a pinch of the cinnamon mixture in the center of each cookie, then fold the edges over to encase the cinnamon mixture. Roll into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Baking and Icing
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until cookies are lightly golden on the edges. They may look soft in the middle, but they will firm up as they cool.
  2. While the cookies cool, mix powdered sugar with 1-2 tablespoons of milk until you reach your desired consistency.
  3. Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle the icing over your cookies and enjoy.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, consider using coconut oil or a dairy-free spread instead of butter. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
