Ingredients
  

  • For the Cookie Dough:
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • For the Cinnamon Filling:
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • For the Cream Cheese Icing:
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons milk to reach desired consistency

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in your vessels of choice.
  • In a large bowl, beat together the softened butter, sugar, and light and fluffy brown sugar.
  • Add egg and whisk until well-blended. Stir in vanilla extract.
  • Add to butter mixture, the flour mixture mixed together. Mix until just blended.
  • Combine soft butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small dish; stir well until properly mixed.
  • Roll out your cookie dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  • Evenly layer cinnamon filling-lined spread over the dough.
  • Carefully roll the log up beginning from one edge. Then, wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes in order to make it firm.
  • Remove dough from the refrigerator after chilling, and slice it into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  • Arrange the cookie slices on the prepared baking baking sheet with spaces between them.
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove it from the oven, allowing to cool on the baking sheet for a few more minutes. At last, the cookies should be transferred to a wire rack in order to cool off completely.
  • In a medium-sized bowl, blend together cheese and butter until quite smooth.
  • Powdered sugar and vanilla extract go in, added slowly, until everything is mixed well.
  • Icing should be thinned to your desired consistency with milk, one tablespoon at a time.
  • Drizzle the cream cheese frosting on top of each cookie after they cool completely.
  • It's time to serve the cinnamon roll cookies. You can try them with whipped cream, coffee or tea.
