I’m excited to share my Cinnamon Roll Cookies recipe, a delightful treat combining the best of a cinnamon roll and a cookie. These cookies are soft, sweet, and they smell amazing while baking. A perfect snack for any time of day!

I remember making these cookies with my mom, Eva. She loved to fill the kitchen with the sweet scent of cinnamon while we joked and laughed. Those moments made baking even more special.

Your Ingredients List

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
1 large egg
2 tsp vanilla extract
For the Filling:
½ cup brown sugar, packed
2 tsp ground cinnamon

My Go-To Equipment

I love using a simple mixing bowl, a whisk, and a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. A rolling pin helps me spread the dough easily.

The Simple Steps to Follow

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
In another bowl, cream the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Prepare the filling by combining brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl.
Spread half of the dough on parchment paper, sprinkle with filling, and roll it up tightly.
Slice into rounds and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Healthy Twists on a Classic

You can make these cookies a bit healthier by using whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour. For a lower sugar option, consider using coconut sugar or a sweetener like stevia. Adding nuts or dried fruits can also give a nice texture.

Serving Suggestions From My Table

I love serving these cookies warm with a cup of coffee or tea. They are also a hit at parties and family gatherings. A drizzle of icing on top can take them to the next level!

Getting It Just Right

Make sure your butter is soft but not melted. This helps create the right texture for the dough. Don’t overmix once you add the dry ingredients; stop as soon as everything is combined.

How to Store Leftovers

Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months. Just be sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Enjoy Every Moment

Baking a batch of Cinnamon Roll Cookies is not just about the end result. It’s about the joy of creating, sharing, and savoring each bite with family and friends. Enjoy every moment, and happy baking!
