PUMPKIN CINNAMON ROLL COOKIES

I’ve been wanting to make a cinnamon roll cookie for quite some time, and today felt like the perfect opportunity. And though cinnamon roll cookies are fabulous on their own, I decided to fall-ify mine. Inspiration came from my recipe for Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls (which are amazing).

These cookies are made in a similar way to cinnamon rolls. The dough gets rolled up after being sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar to create that classic cinnamon roll spiral.

Then, after some time in the refrigerator, the dough is sliced and baked. Once cooled, the cookies are dunked in a sweet glaze. As you can see, this is an easy cookie to make, and because of the pumpkin addition, it’s ideal for fall. The resulting cookie is dense but still soft and rich.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
• 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup pumpkin puree
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 4 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

Glaze:

• 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, and 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice. Set aside.
2. With a mixer, cream together the butter, cream cheese, and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, pumpkin puree, and vanilla extract. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, dry yeast, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet until just combined.
3. Divide the dough into four equal parts. On a lightly floured surface, roll each into an 8x6-inch rectangle. Sprinkle each with about 3 tablespoons of the brown sugar mixture. Roll up tight starting with a long side. Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.
