Instructions

Brush with 1/4 cup of butter on the dough.

In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle all over the cookie dough.

Roll the cookie dough into a log, long end to long end.

Refrigerate for 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 350F and remove the cookie dough log from the fridge.

Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill for Perfect Swirls 🌀
After rolling out the cookie dough and adding the cinnamon-sugar filling, refrigerate the rolled log for 15-20 minutes to help maintain the distinct swirl pattern when slicing.
Uniform Slice Technique 🔪
Use a sharp, thin serrated knife and a gentle sawing motion to create clean, even cookie slices without crushing the delicate rolled dough.
Glaze Game Perfection 💧
Let the cookies cool completely before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting and ensure a beautiful, glossy finish that sets properly.
Brown Sugar Hack 🍯
If your brown sugar is hard, microwave it with a damp paper towel for 20 seconds to restore moisture and make it easier to mix into the filling.
Non-Stick Sliding Trick 🧈
Lightly grease your work surface with cooking spray or use parchment paper when rolling out the dough to prevent sticking and make rolling easier.
