Ingredients

For the cookie dough:

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

• 1 cup granulated sugar

• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

• 2 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon baking powder

• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the cinnamon swirl:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Optional glaze:

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

• 1-2 tablespoons milk

• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Make Cookie Dough: In a large bowl, cream together softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until combined.

3. Prepare Cinnamon Swirl: In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and melted butter until combined.

4. Shape Cookies: Roll dough into a rectangle on a floured surface. Spread cinnamon mixture evenly over the dough. Roll dough tightly from one edge to form a log. Slice into 1/2–inch thick pieces and place on prepared baking sheet.

5. Bake: Bake for 10–12 minutes or until lightly golden around the edges. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes on the pan.

6. Optional Glaze: While cookies are cooling, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

7. Serve: Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
