Oh, it is most definitely cookie season!

And Cinnamon roll cookies are part of this year’s Christmas preparations.

 

Butter and sugar and half a package of cream cheese.

 

Mix flour and salt. Divide dough into two.

 

Wrap and refrigerate for a hour or more.

 

Roll out on waxed paper. My rectangle wasn’t very good here.

 

Spread cinnamon sugar on the dough leaving a generous inch empty.

 

Using the waxed paper to help roll evenly, roll it up. And refrigerate for at least an hour.

 

Slice 

 

and place on baking sheets while the oven is warming.

 

Bake at 375 for 9-12 minutes.

 

Let Cool completely

.

For the glaze mix powdered sugar with milk

 

and that’s it. Dip the face of each cookie in. If it gets too thick, thin it down with a drop of milk.

 

Thanks Sommer, great recipe!
