Creating Irresistible Cinnamon Roll Cookies can be simple and enjoyable if you follow these easy steps:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon until well mixed.
- Cream Butter and Sugars: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- Mix Dry Ingredients into Wet: Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Scoop Dough: Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to measure out dough portions. Roll them into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake the Cookies: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool the Cookies: Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cookies cool, mix powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and drizzle consistency.
- Glaze the Cookies: Once the cookies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top for the finishing touch.
