Cinnamon roll cookies

Cinnamon Roll Cookies
Prep Time: 25 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Yield: about 36 cookies
Ingredients
  • 1 & 3/4 cups all-purpose flour(210 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 & 1/4 cups granulated sugar (250 g)
  • 2 tablespoons sugar for innards
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons pecans, chopped(optional)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions

Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
Using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat 1 & 1/4 cups sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Mix in egg and vanilla.
Reduce mixer speed to low. Gradually add flour mixture, mixing just until combined. Refrigerate dough for 1 hour. 

Roll out dough between 2 sheets of wax paper into into an 18"x 10" rectangle.
Combine 2 tablespoons sugar and cinnamon (and pecans). Sprinkle evenly over cookie dough. Press down gently with hands.
Starting with a long side, roll up dough in jelly-roll fashion. Place seam side down on plastic wrap. Wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours. 

Preheat oven to 350°. Line a baking sheet with a silicone liner or parchment paper.
Cut dough into 1/2-inch slices. Place on prepared baking sheet. They spread a bit.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Cool on pans for 5 minutes. Then, remove cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
