Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 large egg
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 2-3 Tbsp milk

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the vanilla extract and egg, mixing well until fully incorporated.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
6. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick.
7. In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, brown sugar, and melted butter to create the filling.
8. Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to prevent leakage during baking.
9. Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to firm up.
10. Slice the chilled log into cookies about 1/2-inch thick and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
11. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden.
12. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. In a bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk to make the glaze. Adjust the consistency if necessary by adding more milk or sugar.
14. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies, allowing it to set before serving.
