Soft and Chewy Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies

Soft and chewy cinnamon roll sugar cookies that bring together the cozy spice of a cinnamon roll and the buttery sweetness of a sugar cookie—all swirled with love and topped with a dreamy glaze! Easy to make and even easier to devour!

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: About 24 cookies 1x

Ingredients

Scale


For the Cookies:

  • 2 ¾ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 ½ cups granulated sugar

  • 1 large egg

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Swirl:

  • ⅓ cup brown sugar

  • 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2–3 tablespoons milk

  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. In a large bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).

  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla until combined.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, mixing until just combined.

  6. In a small bowl, stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon.

  7. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of dough, flatten slightly, sprinkle with cinnamon sugar, fold over, and roll into a ball.

  8. Place dough balls on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Flatten slightly.

  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are just set but centers look a little soft.

  10. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.

  11. For the glaze: whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla. Drizzle over cooled cookies.

  12. Enjoy every soft, sweet, cinnamon-packed bite!

Notes

  • Don’t overbake—the cookies should look slightly underdone in the center for that perfect chewy texture!

  • Make the dough ahead and chill for up to 48 hours for an even deeper flavor.

 

  • Try swapping the vanilla glaze for a maple glaze for a cozy fall twist!
