Instructions
To Make the Dough

To Bake the Cookies
- Roll the dough out on a floured surface until it is about 1/2" thick and as close to a rectangle shape as possible. Spread the softened butter on top of the dough. Whisk together sugars and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of the buttered dough.
- Start at one side of the dough and roll inward, wrapping the dough up as tightly as possible, until you have a log shape (like you would for regular cinnamon rolls). Freeze for 30 minutes.
- Slice into cookies that are about 1/2" thick and place on cookie sheet about 4 inches apart...they will spread during baking!
- Bake for 10-12 minutes at 375°F. Remove from oven and allow to rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling.
To Glaze the Cookies
- Whisk together the glaze ingredients until you have a pourable consistency. If the glaze is too thick, add another Tablespoon of milk. If the glaze is too runny, add another 1/4 cup of powdered sugar.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cookies and allow to dry.
