Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate large bowl, beat softened butter with brown sugar and granulated sugar until creamy. Add the egg and vanilla extract, beating well to combine. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until a soft dough forms.
- Roll Out the Dough: On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12 by 8 inches.
- Add the Filling: Brush the melted butter evenly over the dough rectangle. In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
- Form the Roll: Starting from one of the longer edges, carefully roll the dough tightly into a log shape. Pinch the seam to seal and wrap the dough roll in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Slice the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Remove the dough roll from the refrigerator and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife.
- Bake: Place the sliced cookie rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the centers are set.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as a delicious snack or dessert.
Notes
- For a different flavor twist, try using cream cheese frosting or fruit preserves as filling instead of the cinnamon sugar.
- Ensure the dough is chilled well before slicing to prevent distortion of the rolls during baking.
- Store cooled cookie rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
- These cookie rolls can be frozen after slicing; bake directly from frozen adding a couple of extra minutes to the baking time.
