Cinnamon roll cookies are as delicious as you can probably imagine. However, my favorite part of these cookies is the visually appealing icing swirl.
Since our first cinnamon roll inspired recipe, we want to swirl all the things. The goal is to recreate the cinnamon roll flavor and appearance in as many treats as possible.
Cinnamon Roll Cookies with Icing Swirl
Whether you are on the lookout for creative Christmas cookies, sweet birthday treats, or a surprise to brighten up someone’s day, add these cinnamon roll cookies to your roster.
The cookies are chewy but not too soft and sure to please the sweet tooth of any cinnamon roll fan.
Rolled in a dusting of cinnamon sugar and topped with icing, there are a lot of textures and flavors that make these cookies an instant favorite.
No need to wait for a holiday or special occasion to make these cookies, cinnamon rolls are in style all throughout the year. And, don’t worry, we remain on our quest to create swirled goodies.
More irresistible baked goods are on the way.
