Description

These Cinnamon Roll Cream Cheese Cookies are a delightful fusion of cinnamon rolls and cookies, perfectly spiced with a hint of tangy cream cheese. They’re an irresistible treat for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet mid-morning snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (for glaze)
  • 2–3 tbsp milk (for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Add the brown sugar and granulated sugar, and mix until fluffy.
  3. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and ground cinnamon. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
  5. Scoop the dough into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cookies.
  8. Let the glaze set for 10 minutes, then enjoy!

Notes

For best results, use fresh ground cinnamon and ensure your butter and cream cheese are at room temperature. If the dough feels sticky, refrigerate it for 20 minutes before scooping. The cookies are soft and tender, so avoid overbaking.
