Baking Irresistible Cinnamon Roll Cookies is an enjoyable and straightforward process. Follow these steps to create your delicious cookies:

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a separate large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until fluffy and light.
4. Add Egg and Vanilla: Mix in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined with the butter mixture.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Don’t over-mix!
6. Prepare the Filling: In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and chopped nuts (if desired) to form the filling.
7. Shape the Cookies: On a lightly floured surface, roll the cookie dough into a rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the dough. Roll it tightly into a log and slice into 1-inch thick pieces.
8. Bake: Place the cookie slices on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes on a wire rack.

Prepare the Glaze

While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a medium bowl until smooth and creamy.

9. Glaze the Cookies: Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies, allowing it to gently cascade down the sides.
