Cinnamon Glazed Tea Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream together 1 cup butter and white sugar. Beat in the egg and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Combine together the sifted flour, salt and ground cinnamon and stir into butter mixture.
• Cover and chill dough for 3 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Lightly flour a rolling pin. Roll out dough on lightly floured wax paper and cut with cookie cutter. As dough warms it becomes unworkable. Return to refrigerator as needed. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 15-20 minutes until lightly browned.
• To Make Icing: Sift confectioners' sugar into mixing bowl. Add vanilla, salt, and butter. Add milk one tablespoon at a time while beating until spreadable consistency. Continue beating on medium for 10 minutes. Ice cookies.

Steps:

• Prepare dough: Stir together flour, sugar, brown sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add butter, eggs, and vanilla; mix until a soft dough forms (do not overmix.) Refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes to make it easier to roll out.
• While the dough is chilling, prepare filling. Combine sugar, brown sugar, pecans, butter, cinnamon, and vanilla in a saucepan over low heat. Cook until melted, but don't let it caramelize. Remove from the heat.
• Divide the cold dough into 2 equal sections. Roll each out on a lightly floured surface to a 9x13-inch rectangle.
• Pour 1/2 of the filling mixture onto each rectangle and spread evenly. Staring with the longer side, roll each rectangle tightly to form a log. Wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Remove dough logs from the refrigerator. Cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick slices. Place on the prepared baking sheets about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven in batches until light golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before removing to a wire rack to cool, 8 to 10 minutes more.
• Combine powdered sugar, butter, 1 tablespoon milk, and vanilla for glaze. Mix until smooth, adding milk if necessary to preferred thickness. Drizzle over the cooled cookies.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper or spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray.
• Sift the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Beat the butter in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment at high speed until it is light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
• Add the sugar and continue to mix on medium-high speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula halfway through mixing to ensure that the butter and sugar are well mixed.
• Add the eggs and mix until combined. Again, scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl to make sure that the ingredients are combined.
• Add approximately half the flour mixture and mix on low speed just until the flour is incorporated, about 30 seconds. Add the vanilla and buttermilk and mix until combined, about 15 seconds.
• Add the remaining flour and mix until combined, about 15 seconds. Remove the bowl from the mixer and scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula to make sure that the flour is fully incorporated. Compared with other, drier cookie doughs, this dough has a more pasty consistency.
• Using a small ice cream scoop or a tablespoon measure, scoop the cookie dough about 1 inch apart onto the prepared pans. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, rotating the pans once halfway through, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the pans to room temperature.
• While the cookies are cooling, prepare the glaze. Sift the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon into a mixing bowl. Add the buttermilk and mix with a fork until smooth.
• Transfer the room-temperature cookies to a wire rack set over a sheet of parchment or waxed paper and spoon the glaze over them. Allow the glaze to set for 20 minutes.
• Serve the cooled cookies immediately, or keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
