Ingredients
  

Cookie Dough
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour plus more for rolling
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter room temperature
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
Cinnamon-Sugar Swirl
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar packed
  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until combined.
  6. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar and cinnamon for the cinnamon-sugar swirl.
  7. Roll the cookie dough out on a floured surface into a rectangle.
  8. Evenly spread the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the rectangle.
  9. Starting from one edge, roll the dough tightly into a log.
Baking
  1. Slice the log into even pieces, about 1/2 inch thick, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft.
  3. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Cookies can be shaped in advance and baked later. Store in a sealed container to keep them soft. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
