Instructions
- Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Add the egg yolk, vanilla extract, butter, and soft cheese. Use your hands to knead, until the dough is well soft and well combined.
- Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it into a rectangle, about 18cm in width x 30 cm for the longest side. This is approximately 7x11 inches.
- Make the filling by mixing cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl. Brush the dough with melted butter and spread the cinnamon sugar on top.
- Tightly roll the dough along the long side into a log. Wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.
- Preheat the oven at 180°C (356°F). Remove the plastic wrap, and slice the dough into small pieces (each about ½ cm or ¼ inch thick).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the cookies on the baking sheet. Leave enough space (about 2.5 cm or 1 inch) between them.
- Bake for 10-11 minutes, remove from the oven, and allow to cool on the sheet for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool further.
- Serve or keep in airtight cookie jars for later.
