Cinnabon Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter, shortening, light brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine the 1 tablespoon cinnamon, flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small microwave safe dish, heat the 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup of butter and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in the microwave. Stir frequently until butter is melted and the mixture is well blended.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half of the dough to a 12x6 inch rectangle. Spread 1/3 of the cinnamon mixture over each rectangle. Roll each one lengthwise into a log. Cut into 1 inch segments. Use remaining filling to place a small dollop of the mixture onto the cookie sheet where each cookie will be placed, About every 3 inches. Place 1 cookie onto each dollop with the cut side down.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Flip cookie sheet over onto a tray to remove cookies while they are still very hot. If the cookies are stuck, heat the pan in the oven again for a few minutes to soften the cinnamon dollops.

Steps:

• In a mixer bowl, cream together sugar and butter; beat in egg and vanilla.
• Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
• Add to butter mixture.
• Blend well.
• Cover and refrigerate 2 hours or till firm enough to roll into balls.
• Shape dough into small balls about 3/4-inch in diameter.
• Roll in cinnamon sugar to coat.
• Set cookies 1-inch apart on lightly greased cookie sheets.
• Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or till the edges are lightly browned.
• Cool slightly on pans, then remove to racks to cool completely.

Steps:

• Oven 375°.
• Cream together; the first 4 ingredients.
• Beat in the eggs.
• Add the vanilla, cinnamon, and the flour.
• Cover the dough and place in the fridge to chill for 1 hour.
• Combine the filling ingredients and place in the microwave.
• heat until butter melts.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Divide the dough into two equal portions.
• Roll each out into a 12 x 6-inch rectangle.
• Spread half of the filling onto each rectangle.
• Roll each lengthwise into a log.
• Cut into 1-inch slices.
• Place each coookie onto a greased cookie sheet about an inch or so apart.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes.
• Let cool slightly before removing from the pan with a spatula.
• *I find it is easier to slice the rolls of dough if you first put them into the freezer for a few minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• On a large piece of waxed paper, sift together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, cloves and ginger.
• Cream the shortening and 1 cup of the sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add the flour mixture and mix to combine. Mix in the molasses and the egg. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and chill until firm, 1 hour.
• Roll the dough into 1-inch balls. Roll the dough balls in the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, spaced 1- to 1 1/2-inches apart.
• Bake for 20 minutes. Transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• For the cookies: Crumble the cookie dough into a large bowl and let sit until softened, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, line a 9-inch square cake pan with plastic wrap.
• Add the flour and baking powder to the cookie dough and mix by hand to combine. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Add another piece of plastic on top and press the dough into an even layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl.
• Remove the top layer of plastic from the dough, then transfer the dough on top of the bottom layer of plastic to a work surface. Spread the butter mixture over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Roll the dough into a log, using the plastic wrap to keep it tight. Wrap the cylinder in plastic and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Cut 1/4 inch off each end of the cylinder with a very sharp knife to reveal the cinnamon swirl. Cut the cylinder into about 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until just cooked and barely golden on the edges, about 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar, milk, butter and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a small piping bag and pipe the icing back and forth in thin stripes over the cookies.

Steps:

• Beat the butter, muscovado sugar, caster sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon together with an electric whisk for 2-3 mins until well-combined. Add the egg, flour, baking powder and raisins, if using, and continue to beat until the mixture becomes a uniform dough. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls between the palms your hands (you should have 12-15). Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm, or overnight. The unbaked dough balls will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months (see tip, below).
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Place the dough balls 3-4cm apart on the prepared baking trays to allow the mixture to spread without touching. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden at the edges but still soft and gooey in the centre. Leave to cool completely on the baking trays.
• Mix the icing sugar with the remaining cinnamon, then dust over the cookies. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F On a lightly floured work surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll out each log of cookie dough into a 8 x 8 inch square (there will be two). Transfer each sheet of dough to a cookie sheet dusted with flour. Using a floured pastry wheel or dough cutter slice each sheet of dough into 2" strips crosswise. Repeat lengthwise, to create 16 squares. Place rolled dough in freezer. Repeat with remaining dough to create 32 squares total.
• Making sure to keep your work surface dusted with flour; use your hands to shape the cinnamon roll dough into a 16-inch log. Slice the log into 16 (1-inch pieces), chill on a pan until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Remove cookie dough from the freezer. Top 16 cookie dough squares with a section of cinnamon dough. Start to form "sandwiches" place the remaining cookie dough squares on top of the dough squares. Working one at a time, pinch the edges of each cookie "sandwich" until the cinnamon dough is enclosed. Using your hands, roll the "sandwiches" into balls, being careful to keep the cinnamon dough within the cookie dough.
• Bake cookies:.
• Place four well-spaced dough balls per baking sheet; press gently to flatten dough to 3/4- inch thick.
• Bake until light brown on top, and golden on the bottom, 15 to 17 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through cooking. Remove to a rack to cool. Drizzle with cinnamon bun glaze, if desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• Cream together butter and sugar.

Steps:

• Cream first 5 ingredients until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Beat in egg and vanilla. Gradually beat in flour. On a baking sheet, roll dough between 2 sheets of waxed paper into a 12-in. square. Refrigerate 30 minutes., For filling, beat butter, brown sugar, corn syrup and vanilla. Add flour, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Remove top sheet of waxed paper; spread filling over dough to within 1/4 in. of edges. Using waxed paper, roll up tightly jelly-roll style, removing paper as you roll. Cover and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 375°. Uncover and cut dough crosswise into 1/4-in. slices. Place 2 in. apart on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are lightly browned, 10-12 minutes. Cool on pans 5 minutes. Remove to wire racks to cool completely., For glaze, mix confectioners' sugar, corn syrup, vanilla and enough water to reach desired consistency. Spread or drizzle over cookies.

• Cut cold log into about 1/4" slices. It's ok if you can't slice that thin.
• Bake for 8 minutes or til lightly browned on top.
• Cool on cookie sheets for 4 minutes.
• Then remove from cookie sheets, and cool the rest of the way on wire racks.
• When cool, mix glaze ingredients well using as much or little milk as needed for a thick yet pipeable consistency.
• Pipe glaze over each cookie.
• HINT:.
• Be careful when rolling this dough. If it starts to crack, smooth them. Roll slowly.
• Also, I found it easier when you slice them, let the slice rest on the knife when moving them to the cookie sheet. If they fall apart a bit, don't fret, just push them back together! They bake up just fine!
• Makes 3-4 dozen.
