Recipe: Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Cinnamon Roll Cookies 

Ingredients

• 2 cups (240g) all purpose flour

• ½ cup (50g) granulated sugar

• ¼ teaspoon salt

• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and sliced into 16 pieces

• ¼ cup pure maple syrup, chilled

• 2-3 tablespoons ice water

• ¼ cup granulated sugar

• 4 teaspoons cinnamon

• ¼ cup pure maple syrup

Directions

• In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, salt and butter with an electric mixer.

• Once the butter is broken into small pieces, add the water and maple syrup and mix until incorporated.

• Separate the dough into two portions, wrap each piece in plastic wrap and then form into discs.

• Refrigerate dough for 2 hours.

• Combine the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl and mix thoroughly.

• On a floured cutting board, roll one piece of dough into a rectangle with a ¼ inch thickness. 

• Sprinkle with half of the cinnamon sugar but leave a 1 inch space at the top of the dough.

• Starting from the bottom roll the dough as tight as possible. 

• Once you’ve reached the blank dough, dampen the edge with water and then roll to seal the dough.

• Repeat with the second piece of dough.

• Wrap each piece in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

• Using a sharp knife, cut the dough into ¼ inch slices and place onto a baking sheet.

• Brush the top lightly with maple syrup.

• Bake at 325 degrees F for 16-17 minutes or until golden brown around the edges.

• Transfer the cookies to a wire rack and let cool completely.
