Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 large egg
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

  7. Roll out the dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface.
  8. Sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
  9. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a log to create a swirl effect.

  11. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
  12. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

For an extra touch, drizzle melted white chocolate over cooled cookies or serve with a warm cup of tea.
