Soft Cinnamon Roll Cookies in 31 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Cream together the softened butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt; gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet until a soft dough forms.
3. In a small ramekin, stir the melted butter, cinnamon, and sugar into a thick paste.
4. Divide the dough into 12 equal balls. Flatten each ball into a disk on a piece of parchment paper.
5. Spread a teaspoon of the cinnamon mixture over the center of the disk. Gently fold the edges of the dough toward the center and roll it into a small log, then coil that log into a spiral.
6. Press the spiral down slightly with a spoon to ensure it doesn't flatten too much in the oven.
7. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes until edges are set and pale golden. Let them cool on the pan for 5 minutes.
8. Whisk the powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and cream cheese until smooth. Drizzle the icing in a zig-zag motion across the warm cookies.
