Ingredients
Cookie Dough:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup light brown sugar
2 large eggs
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Cinnamon Swirl Filling:
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 tbsp ground cinnamon
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Vanilla Glaze (optional but recommended):
1 cup powdered sugar
2–3 tbsp milk or cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Make the dough: Cream butter and both sugars until light. Add eggs and vanilla; beat until smooth. Stir in flour, baking soda, and salt until combined. Chill dough for 30 minutes.
Roll and fill: On a floured surface, roll dough into a large rectangle (~1/4 inch thick). Mix cinnamon and brown sugar, then sprinkle evenly over the dough. Drizzle melted butter on top. Roll up tightly into a log, then chill for 20 minutes to firm.
Slice & bake: Slice into 1/2-inch rounds. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden.
Glaze: While cookies cool, whisk together glaze ingredients. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
