Instructions
Follow these steps to create your own batch of Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Cookies:
Preparing the Cookie Dough:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture, and beat until well combined.
- Mix in the pumpkin puree until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preparing the Cinnamon Filling:
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice. Stir until the mixture is smooth.
Assembling the Cookies:
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the chilled dough into a rectangle approximately 1/4 inch thick.
- Spread the cinnamon filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border on all sides.
- Starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough into a tight log. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes.
- Remove the log from the refrigerator and slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
- Place the cookie slices onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Preparing the Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more milk if necessary.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies using a spoon or piping bag.
