Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.
  3. In another bowl, cream the softened butter with granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
  6. In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
  7. Roll out half of the cookie dough on parchment paper into a rectangle.
  8. Sprinkle the prepared filling evenly over the rolled-out dough, pressing lightly.
  9. Roll the dough tightly into a log and slice into ½-inch thick rounds.
  10. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  11. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden brown.
  12. Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-4 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for up to three months. Use softened butter and avoid overmixing for best results.
