cinnamon bun cookies

What's better than a cinnamon bun? Cinnamon bun cookies! Soft, tender, and packed with cinnamon flavour.

cinnamon bun cookies

I’m almost embarrassed to admit this, but this is the first time I’ve ever made a pinwheel cookie. Honestly, I’m not sure I’ve ever even eaten one before! But every time I see a picture of one online or in one of my cookbooks, I just think “oooh, how pretty!” And even after reading recipes and techniques (and yes, I even watched a couple YouTube videos before attempting), I had this idea that they must be so complicated to make. Nope. If you can roll out dough, you can make a pinwheel cookie. 

cinnamon bun cookies

This cookie caught my eye the first time I paged through this cookbook, so I flagged it with a post-it and it’s been in the back of my mind ever since. But if you look at my cookbook shelf, you’ll see a lot of little flags sticking out of the pages. So many cookies, so little time… *sigh*

Unfortunately, this is yet another recipe where the picture in the book and the instructions don’t quite jive. According to the recipe, the dough is to be rolled out to approximately 12″ square. Mine was pretty close to that, maybe even a little larger, and you can see I only got a few spirals in the finished cookie. The photo in the book, however, has several spirals, and the dough layer is much thinner than mine. Next time I make these (oh yes, there will be a next time), I’ll roll it thinner – maybe even twice as much. Flavour-wise, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this cookie, but I think it would look much prettier with more spirals. That is, in fact, what drew me to this cookie in the first place.

This dough is great to work with. Not sticky at all, but soft and pliable. It rolled out really easily, so getting it thinner should be absolutely no problem.

The cinnamon mixture turned out a bit thick and tough to work with, but I’m going to blame that on how cold it was in my kitchen – in a warmer kitchen, the butter would be softer and easier to spread. It probably would have worked out better if I’d softened it a bit in the microwave rather than simply counting on the room temperature to do it.

The cookie spreads slightly in the oven, and flattens out a tiny bit, but overall holds its shape well. But the cinnamon layer bubbles up and oozes out of the spiral, making it look even more like a cinnamon bun. So pretty.

Using the proportions in the recipe, the glaze was much too thick for me to brush on – I could have maybe spread it on with a knife, but that’s not the effect we’re going for here. I thinned it with a bit more water and it was fine. Although I ran out for the last few and had to whip up a bit more. It seemed like a lot of glaze at first, but when they say to brush on a “thin layer” they really mean “thin”. Oops.

Prior to adding the glaze, the cookie has a more subtle flavour. It’s okay, but in my opinion, the glaze adds a touch of extra sweetness that the cookie needs. It doesn’t overpower the cinnamon, but makes the cookie taste more like its namesake. The cookie has a bit of crunch, but is overall soft and tender. One of my coworkers declared this cookie “life-changing”. I think he may have been exaggerating slightly, but he’s adamant that I make more. I tried just one of these immediately after I made them, and yes, it was a good cookie, but I couldn’t figure out why he thought they were so great. And then I had another. OMG, I don’t know if my tastebuds just weren’t picking up on it the first time or these cookies needed a day or two for the flavour to mature, but this is a good cookie.

This is only the second recipe I’ve tried from this cookbook, and they’ve both landed among my all-time favourites. I have very high hopes for the rest of this book!

<h2>cinnamon bun cookies</h2>

Adapted from Cookies at Home with The Culinary Institute of America by Todd Knaster. If you roll your dough out exactly 12", and slice your cookies exactly 1/4", you'll get 48 cookies out of this recipe. I wasn't quite that precise, and got 43 cookies. Close enough.

ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature

1/3 cup granulated sugar

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1-1/2 teaspoons grated orange zest

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 large egg

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour

for the cinnamon smear

5 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened

1/4 cup packed light brown sugar

1-1/2 teaspoons light corn syrup

1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

for the glaze

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon water

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, sugars, salt, zest, and vanilla together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 or 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the egg, beating well to incorporate.

Turn the mixer down to low and add the flour, mixing until just barely combined.

On a sheet of wax or parchment paper (whatever your preference), roll the dough out to approximately 12" square (or more if you want to get more spirals – see my comment above). When it comes time to roll into a log, the paper makes it easier to lift the edge and handle the dough.

making the roll

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine all of the cinnamon smear ingredients and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 or 3 minutes.

Spread the cinnamon mixture on top of the rolled out cookie dough.

Roll the dough into a log shape. Once you get an edge started rolling by just folding it over slightly, you can simply lift the paper edge and use it to guide the dough to continue rolling. There's a video here that shows what I mean about lifting the paper edge to create the roll. The ends of the log will likely be a bit gappy, so you can just smoosh them in to form a flat edge. The first slice from each end will not have the pretty spiral, but there won't be any wasted dough.

Wrap the log in plastic wrap or the parchment paper you used to roll it out and gently squeeze the log to ensure there are no air pockets inside. You can then roll the log a few times to smooth it back out if necessary.

Transfer the dough to the freezer for at least 15-20 minutes, until firm.

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F.

Remove the dough log from the freezer and using a sharp knife, cut the dough into 1/4" slices. Give the log a quarter roll after each cut so it doesn't develop a flat edge from constantly pressing on the same side.

Transfer the cut slices to your prepared cookie sheets and bake for about 12-14 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until they’re lightly golden around the edges. Allow to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before removing the cookies from the pan and allowing them to cool completely.

glazing the cookies

Combine all the ingredients for the glaze in a small bowl and whisk together. Add additional water if it seems too thick. Using a pastry brush, apply a thin coat to the top of each cookie. Allow to sit at room temperature to dry completely.

    Do wish you’d tell us bakers in Europe the ingredients in lbs / oz or grams. A cup of butter for instance: how do you get it in the cup? What size cup – mine are all different sizes? I have conversion charts, but they don’t give the same conversion rates either!!! I am really upset at seeing yummy recipes I cannot use!

    • laurel @wannacomewith April 27, 2015 at 12:59 pm Reply

      Hi Alison! Thanks for your feedback on this. It’s something I’ve been wondering whether I should do. I’m in Canada and our measurements are in metric, but most of my cookbooks are printed in the US and are in cups, so I’m used to converting things on-the-fly. And I usually use weight for things like butter, too (fyi, I use 226g for 1 cup of butter). So would you prefer to see ALL measurements in weight? Or do you use metric volume for some things too?

      I just end up using conversion charts myself, and you’re right, they’re not consistent. But I find they’re different by such a small amount that I don’t worry about it.

    Do you think these could be frozen? How would you do it?

    • laurel @wannacomewith June 18, 2015 at 5:54 pm Reply

      Hi Julie – sorry for the late reply! Yes, you can absolutely freeze these cookies. If you freeze them after baking, they’ll lose some of their texture. I would recommend you freeze the dough and then bake them when you want some (you can just bake a few at a time, if you like). There’s a great article here at the Kitchn explaining how to freeze different types of cookie dough, including slice & bakes like these. If you want to freeze the already baked cookies, here’s another article (also from the Kitchn because they’re awesome) explaining the best way to do that. Hope you like these 🙂

    Is there any alternative to the corn syrup? Could I just omit it?

    • laurel @wannacomewith July 2, 2015 at 8:58 am Reply

      Hi Mona! I wouldn’t recommend just skipping the corn syrup – the recipe needs some sort of liquid for the filling and the topping. The big benefit of using corn syrup, especially for the topping, is that it will stay smooth and won’t crystallize. You could try substituting a simple syrup (melt together 1 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of water, then allow to cool before using).

    can you recomend a substitute for the corn syrup? In Denmark our goverment considders it too unhealthy to be allowed in our country

    • laurel @wannacomewith August 6, 2015 at 10:10 am Reply

      Hmmm, I’d read that high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) is banned in many European countries, but it’s totally not the same as regular “corn syrup”. This is basically just a glucose syrup, so if you can find that, it’s essentially the same thing! I would think “golden syrup” would work as well. 🙂

    Hi, when you mention waiting a couple of days, are you talking about letting the dough sit or the cookie after it’s cooked?

    • laurel @wannacomewith December 8, 2015 at 5:08 pm Reply

      Do you mean where I said “these cookies needed a day or two for the flavour to mature”? I found that after baking, the flavour seemed to improve after a couple of days. Just an observation, not an instruction to wait before eating!

    Do you think Agave syrup would work as a substitute for corn syrup?

    • laurel @wannacomewith December 10, 2015 at 6:23 pm Reply

      Hi Tara! I’m afraid I can’t say for sure as I’ve never personally baked with agave syrup, but it might. David Lebovitz talks about substituting other sweeteners in place of corn syrup here if you’d like to look into it. It sounds like it would probably be okay for the glaze, but I’m not sure about the cookie itself. Please let me know if you try – other people might be interested in the answer too. Good luck!

    Hi Laurel! Just found your recipe on Pinterest while looking for a fun and yummy cookie to make for a cookie exchange this weekend! Just one question! You mention the use of a stand mixer, would an electric hand mixer be ok? I haven’t used it yet, but have it and hope it works enough for the recipe! Thank you for your time!

    • laurel @wannacomewith November 30, 2016 at 4:00 pm Reply

      Hi Janette! No, you definitely don’t need a stand mixer, but hand mixers often have trouble with really thick doughs (I actually broke my hand mixer making cookies years ago – the blade literally snapped – but I was able to use it for years before that happened). You could also just make them by hand, but it’s more of a workout for you. How’s your arm strength? 😉

      Hi Christina! I love this time of year – everyone is baking and trying new recipes, and it’s so much fun 🙂 The zest really just adds a hint of flavour. They’d probably be good without, but personally I think it’s worth it (then again, I love citrus so I always think it’s worth it). Just one orange will give you more than enough. Please let me know what you decide to do 🙂

      Hi Ada – that sounds like a fun club! Do you try a lot of new recipes for it? I haven’t tried it myself, but generally slice & bake cookie dough can be frozen for about 3 months. I see no reason why this dough wouldn’t be ok with that. Good luck!

  39. Katy December 10, 2016 at 2:44 pm Reply

    Just made these for a Christmas Cookie Swap and honestly they were a bummer 🙁 The recipe looks great but for some reason with mine, the cinnamon swirl melted out during baking so they turned out as just a crunchy swirl with a gap where the cinnamon was! I did try, as you mentioned, rolling the dough a little longer than 12″ so I had a lot of swirls. Maybe that had something to do with it? Who knows, but it was a fun recipe to make anyway, so thanks!

      Hi Gale – definitely! You can make them by hand with a bowl and spoon if you want. When I say paddle attachment, it really just means that if you have a mixer with multiple attachments like a whisk or bread hook, you shouldn’t use those. You should use the one meant for beating. But if you don’t have a mixer at all, you can definitely make them by hand. It just takes a bit of arm strength 🙂

  41. Nicole N December 21, 2016 at 9:43 pm Reply

    Made these and like the other commenters, the wheels separated, but I KNOW why this happened.
    1: Because my home was warm while I was making it, the cookie temp and the filling temp were different.
    2: When they chilled, they cooled at different rates.
    3: If you dont make it thin enough before rolling, the filling becomes too much for the mix.
    4: My brown sugar was WET. like, overly damp and sticky. the corn syrup didnt help, and I dont know if it was humidity, but it was a no-go.

    There’s no real fix for this IMO, because this is based on home temp and humidity, so other than using a bit of the dough in the filling to make it a bit tackier.

    BUUUT I found that the wheels that had separated created this beautiful chewy caramel in between the rolls, so I was totally cool with it.

    Also, I redid this and twisted the recipe up. Instead of cinnamon – I used a 1/2 tsp Saffron in the filling. It created a beautiful floral taste that accompanied the citrus and the sweetness. I ate mine with some black tea. I’ll be using this cookie as a base forever!!

    • laurel @wannacomewith January 8, 2017 at 7:17 pm Reply

      Thank you so much for this great info Nicole! I found the filling to be not really wet enough – I had a bit of trouble spreading it out. Glad to hear that they taste good regardless 😉 And the saffron sounds delicious. I want to try this cookie again with a cardamom filling.

    Hi..! Amazing recipe.. Tried it out today.. Infact just took out the last batch from the oven… Turned out amazing.. While rolling it I had doubts that it would separate or turn out weirdly shaped (mainly coz I was having difficulties rolling the dough but I overcame that luckily) but it actually turned out great.. However I substituted corn syrup with golden syrup and it turned out good enough.. 😀 so if anyone here can’t find corn syrup, golden syrup is good enough..

Because I needed golden syrup for a recipe and it took me a really long time to track it down here in Vancouver. Meanwhile, I’ve never seen a grocery store that doesn’t have corn syrup. :-/
