All the enjoyment of a cinnamon roll in a cookie!

Ingredients

• 0.75 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup unsalted light butter
• 1 tablespoon granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg white
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon granular no-calorie sucralose sweetener (such as Splenda®)
• 1 cup powdered sugar, or as needed
• 1 tablespoon skim milk, or as needed
• 0.25 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.
2. Beat brown sugar, butter, and sweetener together in a bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Add egg, vanilla, cinnamon, and baking powder; mix well. Gradually stir in flour; the mixture will be slightly sticky.
3. Flour your hands and roll and pinch dough into 18 logs; transfer to the prepared cookie sheet forming each log into a cinnamon roll shape.
4. Prepare cookie top coat: Put egg white in a small bowl. Mix powdered sugar, cinnamon, and sweetener together in a second bowl. Brush egg white on top of each cookie, then apply sugar topping.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 7 minutes. Cookies will be slightly soft when they comes out; you want them like this. Let stand for 5 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, prepare icing: Mix 1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon milk, vanilla, and cinnamon in a pot over low heat. Stir until melted and combined; you can play with the consistency by adding more sugar or milk.
7. Drizzle icing over cookies and let sit for 3 minutes before serving.
