HOW TO MAKE CINNAMON ROLL COOKIES
- In a small bowl, mix 3 tablespoons of melted butter, 1/2 cup of brown sugar, one tablespoon of ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of ginger, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg. Then roll or scoop into small pea-sized balls and place on a baking sheet. Freeze for about 15 minutes. This is your cinnamon filling. While the cinnamon filling is freezing, make the cookie dough.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Set aside for later use.
- Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the aquafaba and vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Slowly add the flour mixture and continue mixing until mostly combined. Before the flour is incorporated into the dough, add the frozen cinnamon filling and mix until combined.
- Scoop dough using a 1/4 measuring cup and roll in 1/4 cup sugar.
7. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 12 to 13 minutes.
8. Remove from oven and allow to cool before adding cream cheese glaze.
HOW TO MAKE CREAM CHEESE GLAZE
Cream cheese glaze is a must for cinnamon roll cookies to give them the same taste as an actual cinnamon roll. While it is optional, I highly recommend adding it to the tops of your cookies or even using it to dip them!
- Cream together the room-temperature butter and cream cheese.
- Once combined, sift in the powdered sugar and mix until combined.
- Add the vanilla extract and blend until smooth and creamy.
- Either use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the glaze over the baked cookies.
