Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 1/2 cup | Butter |
| 1 cup | Sugar |
| 1 | Egg |
| 1/2 tsp | Salt |
| 2 tsp | Baking powder |
| 2 cups | Flour |
| 1/2 tsp | Vanilla extract |
| 2 tsp | Ground cinnamon |
| 1 tbsp | Margarine |
| 4 tbsp | Homemade icing |
Instructions:
-
Mix together butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.
-
-
Mix in the egg: Add the egg to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well combined.
-
Sift salt, flour, and baking powder: In a separate bowl, sift together the salt, flour, and baking powder.
-
Incorporate dry ingredients: Gradually add the sifted dry ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, mixing well after each addition.
-
Add vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
-
Chill: Cover the dough and chill it in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.
-
Prepare filling: While the dough is chilling, mix together the ground cinnamon, margarine, and a tablespoon of sugar in a separate bowl to create the filling.
-
Form dough into strips: Remove the dough from the refrigerator and divide it into equal portions. Shape each portion into a 6-inch strip that’s about 1/2 inch wide.
-
Apply filling: Spread a thin layer of the cinnamon filling onto one side of each dough strip.
-
Roll up dough: Carefully roll up each dough strip into a tight spiral, forming it into a cinnamon roll shape.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the cinnamon roll cookies onto a lined baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until they are soft yet golden brown.
-
Top with icing: Once the cookies are baked and cooled slightly, drizzle or spread homemade icing over the top for a sweet finishing touch.
