Cinnamon Roll Cookies
These cookies capture the essence of a cinnamon roll in a crisp, buttery bite. You'll make a simple shortbread-style dough, chill it, then roll it out and spread it with a generous layer of brown sugar and cinnamon. Once rolled up and chilled again, the dough is sliced into pinwheels and baked until golden. The double chill helps keep the swirls defined.
