Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cinnamon Roll Cookies Delight.
Step 1
To start your delicious cookie adventure, grab a mixing bowl and sift together all-purpose flour, baking soda, and a pinch of fine salt.
Step 2
Set this mixture aside for now.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, take your softened butter and shortening, and with the help of an electric mixer, beat them together until they’re perfectly blended.
Step 4
Slowly add in the white sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes light and fluffy—this should take about five minutes, and trust me, the aroma will be heavenly! Next, it’s time to add the eggs, one at a time.
Step 5
Make sure to beat well after each addition to ensure everything is well incorporated.
Step 6
Gradually mix in your flour mixture until the dough is smooth and inviting.
Step 7
Now, let’s get a little messy! Dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out your cookie dough into a rectangle that’s about 1/4-inch thick, using a floured rolling pin.
Step 8
Here comes the fun part: generously sprinkle ground cinnamon over the surface of the dough, filling your kitchen with that warm, comforting scent.
Step 9
Starting from one of the long sides, carefully roll the dough into a log, making sure it’s nice and tight.
Step 10
Wrap this delightful log in plastic wrap and pop it in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours to firm up—this is the perfect time to daydream about how amazing these cookies will taste! When you’re ready to bake, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Step 11
Once your dough has chilled, unwrap the log and slice it into 1/4-inch thick pieces, being gentle so you don’t flatten those lovely cookies.
Step 12
Place the slices on an ungreased baking sheet, and get ready for the magic to happen! Bake them in your preheated oven for about 12 minutes, or until the edges turn a lovely light golden color.
Step 13
The anticipation will be worth it as your kitchen fills with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked cookies! Enjoy every bite!.
