        How to Make Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Step 1: Make the Cookie Dough<\/strong>
        In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt<\/strong>. Set aside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In another large bowl, beat butter and sugar<\/strong> until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract<\/strong>, mixing until combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 2: Prepare the Cinnamon Filling<\/strong>
        In a small bowl, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon<\/strong> until well combined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 3: Roll Out and Fill the Dough<\/strong>
        On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a rectangle (about \u00bc-inch thick)<\/strong>. Spread the cinnamon filling evenly<\/strong> over the dough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log<\/strong>, just like a cinnamon roll. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes<\/strong> to firm up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 4: Slice and Bake the Cookies<\/strong>
        Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong> and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Using a sharp knife (or dental floss for clean cuts), slice the chilled dough into \u00bd-inch thick rounds<\/strong>. Place the cookies 1 inch apart<\/strong> on the baking sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Bake for 10-12 minutes<\/strong>, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes<\/strong>, then transfer to a wire rack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Step 5: Drizzle with Vanilla Glaze<\/strong>
        In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla<\/strong> until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and let set before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n
