Ingredients
Scale
- 225g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- 115g unsalted butter, softened
- 150g granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 120ml buttermilk (or milk with 1 tbsp lemon juice, left to sit for 5 minutes)
- 50g unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
- 75g light brown sugar (for filling)
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon (for filling)
- 115g icing sugar (for icing)
- 2-3 tbsp milk (for icing)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract, optional (for icing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 190°C (170°C fan/gas mark 5) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 30cm x 40cm.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon for the filling. Spread this mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from one of the long edges, roll the dough up tightly into a log. Pinch the seam to seal it closed. Use a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss to cut the log into 1.5cm thick slices.
- Place the slices onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each cookie. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cookies are cooling, prepare the icing. In a small bowl, whisk together the icing sugar, milk, and vanilla extract (if using) until smooth. Add more milk if needed to reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies. Serve immediately.
