Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter, softened

  • cup sugar

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 egg

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla

  • 2 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 egg, lightly beaten

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, or apple pie spice

  • 1 recipe Cream Cheese Drizzle

Cream Cheese Icing Drizzle

  • 2 ounce cream cheese, softened

  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoon milk

Directions

  1. In a large bowl beat butter with a mixer on medium to high 30 seconds. Add the sugar and salt. Beat on medium 2 minutes, scraping bowl as needed. Beat in 1 egg and the vanilla. Beat in flour.

  2. Wrap dough in plastic wrap; chill until easy to handle (30 to 60 minutes). On a floured surface roll dough to a 15x10-inch rectangle. Brush with the lightly beaten egg. Stir together brown sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle over dough. Roll up from a long side. Place roll on a baking sheet or tray, cover, and freeze about 30 minutes or until firm enough to slice.

  3. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a serrated knife to cut roll into 1/4-inch slices; place 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet.

  4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool on cookie sheet 1 minute. Remove; cool on wire rack. Drizzle cooled cookies with Cream Cheese Drizzle.
