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:

• Add the first 7 ingredients, in the order listed, to a bread machine baking pan. Insert pan into bread machine and start the "dough" cycle on machine. Process dough according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• When the dough is finished, turn it out onto floured rolling board and allow it to sit for ten minutes. When ready, roll the dough out into a 16" wide and 21" long rectangle, with a dough thickness of about 1/4 inch. Allow to sit again.
• In a small bowl, combine the next two ingredients(brown sugar and cinnamon). Stir well until the ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Then, spread the softened butter over the surface of the dough and sprinkle cinnamon sugar mixture evenly over the dough surface. Use all of the cinnamon sugar and completely coat the dough.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Roll up the sheet of dough jelly-roll fashion along the 16" wide side of the rectangle (lengthwise). Then, cut the dough roll into 12 slices.
• Spray a 9" by 13" baking pan with non-stick cooking spray. Arrange these 12 rolls into the baking pan. Cover and let rise until nearly doubled. Place into the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on top.
• While the rolls bake, combine the last 5 ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Stir until everything is well blended. The mixture should form a thick icing.
• When the rolls are fully cooked, remove the baking pan from the oven. Frost the rolls immediately with the icing, while they are still in the pan. Then, allow the rolls to cool until they are able to be handled.
• For best results, the rolls should be served within 30 minutes of baking.
