Cinnamon Logs Recipes

Steps:

• For the cookie dough: Cream together the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the vanilla and egg and continue to mix until well incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder and nutmeg until well combined. With the mixer on low, add the flour mixture slowly until incorporated and the dough has come together. Cover and chill for 15 for 20 minutes.
• For the filling: Tip the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll out into a 16-by-8-inch rectangle about 1/4 inch thick. Pour over the melted butter and, using your hands, spread the butter evenly over the dough. Sprinkle over the cinnamon and then the granulated sugar. Starting with the long edge, carefully roll the dough tightly, just as you would with cinnamon rolls, and pinch the seam together when you reach the end. Cut the log in half. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap, put on a baking sheet and chill until firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
• Unwrap the cookie dough and transfer to a cutting board. With a sharp knife, cut the logs into 1/2-inch pieces. Transfer the cookies to the prepared baking sheets and bake until set and the edges begin to brown slightly, 12 to 13 minutes. Transfer to a cooling rack to cool.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, whisk together the confectioners' sugar, milk and melted butter in a large bowl until smooth. Add the maple extract and taste. Add more confectioners' sugar or butter as needed; the glaze should be thick but still pourable. Drizzle the glaze back and forth over the cookies and allow to set before serving, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. cut bread in 1 1/2" slices and cut off crusts. Cut slices in shape of oblong logs and let air dry for a few hrs or until a bit stale. Take all wet ingredients and mix with dry, put in deep and wide casserole dish (or more than one if needed) Place bread logs in single rows in mixture, cover and refrigerate. Before going to bed, turn the logs over and return to refrigerator. The next morning, heat oil (I have always used peanut due to it's high heat tolerance) in a fryer (I have had great success with my fry daddy) and place logs in oil.Make sure oil is sizzling hot first. Let cook until bottom is brown, about 6 min or so and then turn with slotted spoon. When logs are brown on both sides, drain and sprinkle with powdered sugar or pour agave or maple syrup over them. They are super creamy on the inside and very crispy on the outside. These are totally decadent and delicious.

Steps:

• Trim crusts from bread.
• Using a rolling pin, roll out bread slices flat so they are only 1/4" thick.
• Beat cream cheese, egg white, and powdered sugar together on medium speed until smooth.
• Spread evenly on top of each bread slice, then roll up the slices into tight logs.
• Stir together granulated sugar and cinnamon and place into a bowl.
• Place melted butter into another bowl.
• Have ready some lightly greased baking sheets and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Dip bread logs into butter, then roll in sugar mixture, then place onto baking sheets.
• Bake for about 15 minutes, or until browned.
• Let cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Beat together butter and granulated and brown sugars with an electric mixer on medium-low speed until creamy, about 3 minutes. Beat in whole eggs 1 at a time, then salt and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, until combined. Beat in milk and vanilla. Add flour a little at a time, beating until incorporated. Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll 1 ball into a 12-inch log; wrap in parchment and refrigerate, along with remaining 3 balls of dough, until firm, about 1 hour.
• Combine cocoa powder and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon and sprinkle over work surface. Roll out 1 ball of dough into a 6-by-12-inch rectangle in cocoa mixture. Flip rectangle over onto lightly floured work surface so that 1 long side is facing you; brush off excess cocoa mixture. Place log of dough, also with a long side facing you, in center of rectangle and wrap rectangle around log to enclose completely. Firmly squeeze and massage wrapped log of dough to adhere rectangle to log. Repeat process with second ball of dough, rolling it out into an 8-by-13-inch rectangle, then with final ball, rolling it out into a 10-by-14-inch rectangle. Refrigerate log until firm, about 1 hour, 15 minutes. Log can be stored in refrigerator up to 1 day.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly beat egg white. Brush outside of log with egg white and roll in turbinado sugar, patting to adhere. Refrigerate until sugar is set, about 10 minutes. Slice log into 1/4-inch-thick rounds and transfer to parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until slices are golden around edges (rings may separate slightly), 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely. Slices can be made 3 days ahead and stored at room temperature.
