Ingredients
Method
- Make the dough: Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the egg and mix until smooth.
- In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture. Stir in the milk until the dough comes together soft but not sticky.
- Roll it out: On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a rectangle about ¼-inch thick.
- Add filling: Brush melted butter over the dough, then sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
- Roll: Starting from the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30–45 minutes.
- Slice & bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice dough into ½-inch rounds and place on parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are just set.
- Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over warm cookies and let set before serving.
Notes
Chilling keeps the spiral shape and prevents spreading.
Bake until just lightly golden — cookies continue to set on the pan.
For thicker icing, add more powdered sugar; for a light drizzle, thin with more milk.
Dough logs freeze well — slice and bake straight from the freezer, adding 1–2 extra minutes.
