Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
4. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
6. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one disk of dough into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
7. In a small bowl, combine the ground cinnamon and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough.
8. Starting from one of the long sides, tightly roll up the dough into a log. Repeat with the remaining dough.
9. Cut the dough logs into 1/2-inch thick slices and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
10. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
11. While the cookies are baking, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
12. Once the cookies are cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top using a spoon or piping bag.
13. Allow the glaze to set before serving. Enjoy these delicious cinnamon roll cookies!
