Ingredients:
- 225g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g granulated white sugar
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 5ml vanilla extract
- 280g all-purpose flour
- 5g baking soda
- 3g salt
- 28g unsalted butter, melted
- 50g light brown sugar, packed
- 8g ground cinnamon
- 120g powdered sugar
- 15-30ml whole milk
- 1ml vanilla extract
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and white sugar until the mixture looks pale and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
- Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- Slowly stir in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix only until the white streaks of flour disappear.
- In a small bowl, stir together melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until it forms a thick paste.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle (approximately 9x12 inches).
- Spread the cinnamon paste evenly across the dough, leaving a small margin at the edges.
- Carefully roll the dough into a tight log using the longer edge.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the log into 1-inch thick slices. Press the open ends of the spirals slightly to seal them.
- Place slices on a parchment-lined sheet. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes.
- Let the cookies rest on the pan for 5 minutes before moving them to a wire rack.
- Whisk icing ingredients together and drizzle over cooled cookies.
