Ingredients
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder

- ¼ cup brown sugar (packed)

- ¼ cup butter softened
Instructions
- This dough can be made by hand, in a food processor or even with a standup or hand mixer on low.
- In a large mixing bowl with a whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt, add the butter and mix until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add the milk and mix until it becomes a soft dough turn onto a lightly floured flat surface and gently knead to bring the dough together.
- Roll the dough out to 1/8 inch thickness, spread the filling on top. Starting with the long side, roll up tightly into a log, wrap the log in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill for 30-60 minutes or until very firm.
- Pre- heat oven to 350 degrees (180 degrees). Line 1-2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove from the fridge and cut into 1/4 or less inch slices. (You can reshape the cookie dough to form a proper circle, sometimes the roll will flatten in the fridge). Place on the prepared cookie sheets and bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden. Enjoy!
