How to Make Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies
My husband and I both agree the only way to enjoy these beauties is after they’ve chilled in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. Talk about heaven 🙂 I’ll stop talking so you can go make these quickly, make them for your Valentine and he or she will LOVE you forever!!
Roll your chilled dough into about a 12 inch x 5 inch oval.
Spread softened butter over dough.
Sprinkle with brow sugar and cinnamon next!
Time to roll into a cute little log, then use a sharp knife to cut into slices
Place onto your baking sheet
Baked to perfection, I’m drooling just thinking about them again

Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 2 Cups sugar
- 1 Cup butter softened
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 Cup sour cream
- 6 Cups flour
- 2 teaspoons baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 12 tablespoons softened butter (slice 2 Tablespoons 6 times totaling 12 tablespoons)
- 1 1/2 Cups packed light brown sugar divided into 1/4 Cups
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons ground cinnamon divided
Frosting
- 8 oz softened cream cheese
- 1/2 Cup powdered sugar
- 2-4 Tablespoons milk to thin icing
Instructions
- In an electric or stand mixer, cream the sugar and butter. Add eggs, vanilla and sour cream until well combined. Slowly add in the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt until well combined.
- In 2 batches, place in plastic wrap in a disc shape and chill for at least 2 hours for best results.
- Once chilled, cut each disc into thirds and roll into a 1/8 inch thick oval, about 12 inches X 5 inches. Spread each rolled pieces of dough with 2 Tablespoons softened butter, 1/4 Cup packed brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon. Start rolling from the long end closest to you, rolling into a log shape. Using a sharp knife, cut 1/2 inch pieces of dough then placing onto a silpat or parchment lined baking sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 9-11 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before removing from baking sheet.
- To prepare frosting, beat the cream cheese until softened and smooth, slowly add powdered sugar and milk until desired consistency. Frost cookies then place in refrigerator until ready to serve. These are 100 times better chilled, trust me!!

Welcome to my online kitchen! Picky Palate is where you’ll find family friendly recipes along with the best Disney eats, tips and copycat recipes! 
I found this recipe back in 2010 when an old coworker forwarded this recipe to me and asked me to make them. I am SO GLAD I DID. I have been making these ever since – and I get asked to make these so often. This is hands down my absolute favorite cookie. and 100% fact they are better cold. just wanted to say thank you. i love these. and i’ll make them until i die.
Hi, I wonder if anyone has made these. I just made them and my batch is very sticky, is this normal, should I add more flour? I live overseas in a very humid weather and also maybe the flour is not very strong. Any suggestions?
Did you chill the dough in the fridge overnight? if not, you may want to add more flour when rolling out the dough. i keep my counter good and floured when rolling them out and i don’t have the sticky issue (but also I’m NOT in a humid climate)
But DEFINITELY chill that dough at least 3 hours, overnight is better.
I’m a huge fan of both cookies and cinnamon rolls and I love that this recipe combines both! Definitely a must-bake cookie recipe, for sure!
I made this yesterday.My entire family loved it and praised me since I don’t do much cooking.Thanks for sharing
I am wondering about freezing these for a cookie swap. When is the best time to freeze in the process (after icing?) These look wonderful!
WHAT?! These are amazing (well at least they look it) I am totally going to make these this morning! My brother and sister said that they’d rather have real cinnamon rolls! But then I showed my sister some of the pictures, and she said that I could make them instead! Thank you!!
Made these before love them! Can I make these fill the dough roll freeze then slice and bake later?
