Ingredients
Cookie Dough
- 3/4 cup butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
Cinnamon Filling
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 1/3 cup brown sugar packed
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Cream Cheese Frosting
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter softened
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- additional cinnamon for sprinkling
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the butter and the granulated sugar together for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Mix in the egg, vanilla, cream, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour and beat on low speed, just until combined.
- On a well-floured piece of wax paper or parchment paper, press the dough out into a 15×10 rectangle. Note: This is easiest to do with wet hands. The dough does not need to be rolled out perfectly and it’s okay if it’s a bit messy.
- In a small bowl, combine the filling ingredients. Spread the filling mixture over the rolled out dough. Starting at one end of the dough, roll the dough up tightly like a jelly roll. Transfer the dough to a cookie sheet and place in the freezer for 20 minutes to chill.
- While the dough is chilling, preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Cut the dough into 10 equal rounds. Shape each piece to be more round (keeping it very thick—do not press it out thin) and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with several inches between each (they will spread while baking).
- Bake the cookies for 15-17 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden brown. Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to continue cooling.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together the ingredients for the cream cheese frosting until smooth and creamy. Scoop the frosting into a zip-top bag and cut off the corner to create a piping bag. Pipe the frosting onto the completely cooled cookies in a swirl. Dust with cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
