Cookie Trends (Recipe: Cinnamon Roll Cookies with Vanilla Glaze)

Cinnamon Roll Cookies are your favorite breakfast sweet bread in cookie form!

Cinnamon Roll Cookies Recipe on dineanddish.net

I read an article awhile back that in 2011, Pie was going to be the new Cupcake. You can expect the cupcake trend to fade, but anticipate that Pies, in all flavors, shapes and sizes, will be peaking in 2011. I love pie… I truly do, but considering that I cannot make a pretty pie crust to save my life, hearing that pies will be hot in 2011 does not make this food blogger thrilled.

How about cookies? Have cookies had their year to shine yet? I am starting a petition to make 2011 the year of the Cookie. How about it? Wanna join me?

Ree, The Pioneer Woman… I know… you probably have no idea who I’m talking about, right? She lives on a ranch in Oklahoma? She refers to her husband as Marlboro Man? Still no? She has an absolutely darn cute Basset Hound named Charlie? Ahhhh… now you know who I’m talking about!

Anyway, Ree put into motion a week dedicated to the ever loving cookie. This past week on Twitter you probably saw hashtag after hashtag of #CookieWeek. If you are a cookie lover like I am and can’t resist a good cookie, #CookieWeek has been like putting a Sharpie addict in the pen aisle of Office Depot with no money in their pocket. (For those of you not addicted to Sharpies, I’m here to tell you, this would be a VERY terrible thing) It has been terribly hard to resist running to my KitchenAid mixer every second to try the new cookies popping up everywhere.Screen Shot 2015-12-15 at 7.08.54 PM

It was today that I finally broke down and gave in to the cookie temptation. I turned to one of my favorite cookie recipes to give me my fix. If you love Cinnamon Rolls and you love cookies, may I introduce you to Cinnamon Roll Cookies with Vanilla Glaze. It’s like a cinnamon roll, but in cookie form.

Resist if you can, but not too hard. Head to your mixer right now and make up a batch of your favorite cookies. Let’s get cookies on the map in 2011, okay?

Cinnamon Roll Cookies with Vanilla Glaze

Cinnamon Roll Cookies with Vanilla Glaze
Author Dine & Dish

Ingredients

  • For the cookies:
  • 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup butter softened
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 3 tablespoons hot water

Instructions

  • Filling: Stir together the sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
  • Cookies: Cream the butter and brown sugar until well blended with an electric mixer on medium speed.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla; blend well.
  • Combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon; add to butter mixture and blend well.
  • Turn dough out onto a sheet of waxed paper; spread into a 9x6-inch rectangle using a rubber spatula.
  • Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar to within 1 inch from the edges.
  • Roll dough up jelly-roll style.
  • Roll in remaining cinnamon-sugar; wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for 2 - 4 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Slice dough 1/4-inch thick; place 2 inches apart onto parchment-lined cookie sheets.
  • Bake for 8 minutes or until golden on top (take them out before they look done and allow to firm up on the cookie sheet).
  • Cool for 4 minutes on the cookie sheets, then remove to racks and cool completely.
  • Once cookies have cooled, make the glaze by using an electric mixer to mix the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla. Add hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the glaze has reached desired consistency.
  • Place glaze in a ziploc bag, cut a small hole in the corner, and pipe glaze onto cookies, following the swirl of the cookie. Allow to set.

    I will sign that cookie petition:) I recently posted about my Nutella Pinwheel Cookies http://www.thegalleygourmet.net/2010/12/1212010-nutella-pinwheel-cookies-well.html. And your Cinnamon Roll Cookies are running with that theme! I can already smell these baking. Yum!

    What a super recipe! I think the best thing about it is you can stick the roll in the fridge or freezer and bake them as you need them!

    December 5, 2010 at 8:24 am

    Great cookie idea! Going to give these a try when my grandbabies come for Christmas.

  27. Simone says

    December 5, 2010 at 8:26 am

    Sounds like we have the same issue with making piecrust… I honestly don’t know what I am doing wrong, but not giving up!! I do love your cookies though! Sounds delicious!

    Very creative cookies! We are having our second annual mother daughter Christmas cookie making fest next weekend, these are on my list!

  29. Michelle says

    December 5, 2010 at 12:29 pm

    I love pie too, but I hardly ever seem to bake any. Cookies just seem more practical, and these are so awesome that they seem like “practical” and “special occasion” all in one.

  30. Alison Moore Smith says

    December 5, 2010 at 3:25 pm

    Wait, I was trying to eat healthy today. Wasn’t I??? I bet one of my daughters will love to make these, which makes them even more dangerous.

  31. Mama Kelly aka Jia says

    December 5, 2010 at 5:40 pm

    These are the cutest cookies I have seen in ages! They look just sinfully good to boot!

    Amazing cookies. i love the glaze

  33. Gina says

    December 5, 2010 at 7:02 pm

    Oh. My goodness. Where have these been all my life? And I’m really excited to hear somebody else say that they like cookies more than pie. I’m a bit of a black sheep in my pie-loving family.

  34. naomi says

    I love these cookies and I will join for 2011! I’m crazy for cookies!

    btw, these look scrumptious 🙂

    Those cookies wouldn’t last long in my house… and I may just have to give in and bake them! They are so cute, too!

  39. Deborah says

    December 10, 2010 at 10:59 am

    I’m with you – I’m not so good at the pretty pie crust, but I think pie is my favorite dessert, so I’d be all over a pie trend! And these cookies are just too cute!!

  40. Lisa says

    January 7, 2011 at 8:38 am

    OMG these look good! I will be trying them. Thanks for the recipe! ; )

    I agree! 2011 should be the year the cookie takes center stage! These look so yummy. I will definitely try them!
