Ingredients

Scale

For the Dough:

1 cup unsalted butter, softened

¾ cup granulated sugar

1 large egg

1½ teaspoons vanilla extract

2½ cups all-purpose flour

½ teaspoon baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

For the Cinnamon Swirl Filling:

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ cup brown sugar

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

For the Glaze (Optional):

½ cup powdered sugar

1–2 tablespoons milk or cream

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Make the Dough: Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla. Add flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Chill for 30 minutes.

Roll & Fill: On a floured surface, roll dough into a large rectangle (~¼ inch thick). Brush with melted butter, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.

Shape: Roll dough tightly into a log (like a jelly roll). Wrap in plastic and chill for 1 hour (or freeze for faster slicing).

Slice & Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice the chilled log into ½-inch thick rounds and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden.

Glaze: Mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
