Mini Cinnamon Roll Cookies

By srumbel

These Mini Cinnamon Roll Cookies were fun to make and a yummy twist on traditional Snickerdoodle Cookies. The ended up a tad crunchy on the outside, but super soft on the inside. YUMMY! I admit that you really can’t go wrong with cookies covered in sugar and cinnamon and topped with a delicious glaze. If you love all things cinnamon, we highly recommend giving these cookies a try. We think you’ll love them just as much as we did.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1-3/4 cups sugar, divided

Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl or kitchen aid, cream butter and 1-1/4 cups sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg yolks and vanilla. In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, salt and cream of tartar. Gradually add flour mixture to kitchen aid until well combined.
Mix cinnamon and remaining ½ cup sugar in a shallow bowl or plate. Roll a tablespoonful of dough into a 6" log and roll in cinnamon sugar. Coil logs into a spiral shape and place on a greased baking sheet. Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar.
Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes. Cool completely.
In a small pot over low heat, melt baking chocolate, stirring constantly until smooth. Drizzle over cookies and let stand until set.
