   • In a small bowl, combine the 1/3 cup sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.

2. Prepare Dough:

   • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese on medium-high speed for about 30 seconds until creamy and smooth.

3. Incorporate Dry Ingredients:

   • Add the 1 cup of sugar and baking powder to the butter and cream cheese mixture. Beat until well combined, scraping the sides of the bowl occasionally.

4. Add Egg and Vanilla:

   • Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated into the mixture.

5. Incorporate Flour:

   • Gradually mix in as much of the all-purpose flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour by hand until a soft dough forms.

6. Roll Out Dough:

   • Divide the dough in half. Place each half between two sheets of waxed paper. Roll each half into a 12×8-inch rectangle.

7. Add Cinnamon Sugar Filling:

   • Remove the top sheet of waxed paper from each rectangle. Brush half of the melted butter over one of the dough rectangles. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the reserved cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the buttered dough.

8. Roll Up Dough:

   • Starting from one of the short sides, carefully roll up the dough rectangle into a spiral, removing the waxed paper as you roll. Pinch the edges to seal the roll.

9. Coat Roll:

   • Roll the sealed dough roll in the remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture until it’s evenly coated.

10. Chill Dough:

    • Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and chill them for about 4 hours, or until the dough is firm.

11. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line cookie sheets with parchment paper or leave them ungreased.

12. Slice Dough:

    • Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled dough rolls into 1/4-inch thick slices.

13. Bake:

    • Place the slices onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are firm and lightly golden.

14. Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the cookies to cool on the cookie sheets for about 1 minute before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.

These Snickerdoodle Pinwheels are sure to be a hit at any gathering or as a sweet indulgence for yourself. Enjoy the delightful swirls of cinnamon goodness in every bite! 🌟
