Ingredients
    Dough
  • ¾ cups unsalted butter softened
  • ⅓ cups dark brown sugar
  • ⅓ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • ½ tablespoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups AP flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoon cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoons baking soda
  • ½ teaspoons salt
    • Filling
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted and cooled
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cups granulated sugar
    • Icing
  • 1 cup icing sugar
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
    For the dough
  1. Beat the butter and sugar together in a stand mixer for approx 3 minutes or until light and fluffy. Add the egg and vanilla. Beat until fully incorporated for approx 2 minutes.
  2. Change the whisk to a paddle on the stand mixer. Sift the flour, cornstarch, baking soda, and salt into the butter mixture. Mix on low speed until fully incorporated.
  3. Wrap the dough in cling wrap, and freeze for 1 hour.
    4. For the filling
  4. Mix together the butter, cinnamon, and sugar until smooth paste forms.
    5. To assemble
  5. Place the chilled dough between two sheets of parchment paper and roll into a large rectangle approximately ¼” thick. Spread the filling evenly on the dough. Roll the dough up into a log, slightly pinching the end to prevent filling from leaking.
  6. Wrap the log shaped dough in cling wrap and freeze for 2 hours.
  7. Preheat the oven to 350F and line several pans with parchment paper.
  8. Slice the log shaped dough into ¼” slices and bake for 10-12 minutes. Cool once baked.
    9. For the icing
  9. In a bowl, mix together the icing sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Drizzle over the cooled cookies and allow icing to set for 10 minutes before serving.
