Cook Time: 12 mins
Total Time: 32 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 cup cream cheese frosting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the large egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat until well combined and smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Scoop the cookie dough into large balls, approximately 3 tablespoons each. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set but still soft.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cookies are completely cooled, generously spread cream cheese frosting on top of each cookie using an offset spatula or piping bag.
- For an extra touch of cinnamon roll flavor, sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon over the frosted cookies.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter and egg are at room temperature before starting. This helps create a smoother batter and ensures even mixing.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry and wet ingredients, mix just until combined. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so stop as soon as you see no dry flour.
- Chill the Dough: For thicker cookies, consider chilling the dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps prevent spreading and keeps them nice and fluffy.
- Use a Cookie Scoop: For uniform cookies, use a cookie scoop to portion the dough. This ensures even baking and consistent size for all your cookies.
- Watch the Baking Time: Keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden on the edges but still soft in the center. Remember, they will continue to firm up as they cool.
- Frosting Tip: For a beautiful finish, use an offset spatula or piping bag to apply the cream cheese frosting. A light sprinkle of cinnamon on top adds an extra touch of flavor and presentation!
- Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their freshness.
