Ingredients
  

Cinnamon Filling
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened Must be softened for easy mixing
  • ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
  • 1½ tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch salt
Cookie Dough
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened but cool Should be cool to avoid melting the dough
  • 1⅓ cups granulated sugar
  • 1¾ teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cornstarch

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a small bowl, mix together the softened unsalted butter, packed brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to make the cinnamon filling.
  2. In a larger bowl, beat the softened but cool unsalted butter with granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add in the pure vanilla extract, large egg, and large egg yolk then mix until combined.
  4. In a different bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add this to the wet ingredients, mixing until just incorporated.
  5. Roll out pieces of dough, spoon in your cinnamon filling, roll them up, and bake until they’re golden brown.
