Ingredients

• 200 grams Unsalted butter
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 50 grams Brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Step 5

Divide the dough into two equal parts and roll each piece into a rectangular shape, about 5mm thick, on a floured surface.

Step 6

Mix the brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 7

Spread half of the cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over one of the rolled-out dough rectangles.

Step 8

Roll up the dough tightly, starting from one of the longer edges, to form a log. Repeat the process with the second piece of dough.

Step 9

Wrap each dough log in cling film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 11

Remove the chilled dough logs from the refrigerator and slice them into 1cm thick rounds using a sharp knife.

Step 12

Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring enough space between each for spreading.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Step 14

Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 15

Serve and enjoy your homemade cinnamon swirl cookies!
