A cinnamon-sugar cookie dough, with pieces of Cinnamon Roll Pop-Tarts, and then rolled in cinnamon sugar and baked. These cookies are super soft and full of cinnamon roll flavor!
I used Cinnamon Roll flavored Pop-Tarts in these cookies, but if you can’t find them, you can use the Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts.
Cinnamon Roll Cookies
Print RecipeIngredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2/3 cup white granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 egg yolks, room temperature
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract (I used Rodelle Bakers Extract)
- 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1-1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 Cinnamon Roll flavored Pop Tarts, broken into pieces
- TOPPING:
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
Instructions
In the bowl of a stand mixer, affixed with the paddle attachment, add the butter and both sugars. Mix on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Add the eggs yolks and mix until incorporated. Add the vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
Turn the mixer to low speed and add the flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix until barely combined.
Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber scraper to ensure all the ingredients are incorporated. Fold in the Pop Tart pieces.
Line three baking sheets with parchment paper.
TOPPING: In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Scoop standard sized cookie dough balls and roll into the topping. Place cookie dough balls on the baking sheets. Refrigerate for one hour.
Once dough has chilled, preheat oven to 350-degrees and bake cookies, one baking sheet at a time for 9-11 minutes. Cookies may appear underdone, but they continue to set on the baking sheet. Allow cookies to cool and set on the cookie sheet for 30-minutes before transferring to a wire rack to finish cooling. Repeat process with remaining baking sheets of cookie dough balls.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Cookies stay fresh for up to a week.
