Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies
This is one of my favorite takes on sugar cookies; these Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies are super soft, sweet, with a perfect hint of cinnamon.
Why you’ll love these Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies
- These are made completely using a food processor
- If you work fast, there’s no need to chill the dough
- the cinnamon is a major loving factor in this recipe!
- An easy take on cinnamon buns
- You can make the dough ahead of time, get the log ready and freeze for baking later
Tips and Tricks for making the perfect cookies
- These cookies don’t need to be chilled, unless you feel your log is too soft to cut the cookies. If that’s the case, you’ll need to wrap your log and refrigerate it for 20-30 minutes, then try again cutting the cookies with a very sharp knife.
- If you want to, you could wrap the log in plastic wrap and freeze to bake later (up to 3 months)
- Cookies could slightly loose their circular form when cutting them, so press them slightly with your fingers after you place them on your cookie sheet to give them the desired form, then bake
- After cookies are baked, wait until they are completely cooled to drizzle them with glaze
How to store
Store your cookies in an air tight container, and they should be ok for one to two weeks, away from the heat and sunlight, in a cool place.
