Cinnamon Roll Cookies
Why I Love This Recipe
This is a Paula Deen recipe that I came across on Bake and Take's blog. I am going to try these this week hopefully.
Ingredients You'll Need
Cookie dough:
1 & 1/4 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Filling:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablesppons chopped pecans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions
Beat together sugar and butter until creamy.
Add egg and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add to sugar/butter mixture.
Cover and refrigerate for one hour.
On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle, 18 x 10.
Combine all filling ingredients in a small bowl. Sprinkle over cookie dough and press down gently.
Beginning with the long side, roll up dough jelly-roll fashion.
Place seam side down and cover with heavy-duty plastic wrap and/or parchment paper.
Refrigerate 2 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cut dough into 1/2-inch slices.
On a sprayed/greased/lined baking sheet, place dough slices about 3 to 4 inches apart.
Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool slightly on baking sheets, then place on wire racks to cool completely.
