Easy Cinnamon Roll Cookies Recipe: Soft, Chewy & Irresistible Treat

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon for the coating; set aside.
2. 2

   In a large bowl, cream together softened butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy (2-3 minutes). Beat in eggs one at a time, then vanilla extract.
3. 3

   In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cream of tartar, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, mixing on low speed until just combined.
4. 4

   For the filling, combine brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir in melted butter until a thick paste forms.
5. 5

   Take about 1 ½ tablespoons of cookie dough and flatten into a disk. Place ½ teaspoon of cinnamon filling in the center. Carefully seal the dough around the filling to form a ball.
6. 6

   Roll each dough ball in the cinnamon sugar coating until fully covered. Place on prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart.
7. 7

   Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden and centers are still soft. Do not overbake.
8. 8

   Let cookies cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve and enjoy!
