Ingredients
3 c. all-purpose flour, plus more for surface
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 c. (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 c. granulated sugar
1 large egg
1 tbsp. milk
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
2 tbsp. melted butter
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 1/4 c. powdered sugar
2 tbsp. milk
Preparation
Step 1 Heat oven to 350° and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Step 2In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer), beat butter and sugar until fluffy and pale in color. Add egg, milk, and vanilla and beat until combined, then add flour mixture gradually until totally combined. Divide dough in half.Step 3On a floured surface, roll each piece of dough into a 9"-x-10" rectangle, about 1/4" thick. Step 4In small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon. Brush rectangles with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture. Tightly roll up each rectangle into a tight log. Step 5Slice into ½"-thick slices and transfer to prepared baking sheets, spaced 1" apart. Bake until lightly golden, 12 to 14 minutes. Let cool on sheets 5 minutes.Step 6In small bowl, combine powdered sugar with milk and drizzle over cookies.
Tip: we like making a thicker glaze for these cookies to give them a decorative drizzle. If you’d prefer to dip the tops of your cookies instead of drizzle, add 2 additional tablespoons of milk to your glaze.
