The crowd-pleasing taste of a cinnamon roll in a cut-out cookie. With lots of vanilla and cinnamon flavor, these cookies are perfect for the holiday season.

Ingredients

• 6 cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt

• 2 cups dark brown sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 6 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps

1. Combine flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
2. Cream butter and sugar together using an electric mixture in a second bowl until fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time and beat well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix everything by hand into a smooth dough.
3. Divide dough into 4 pieces and flatten into 1-inch thick rounds. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
4. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut out desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets.
6. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on wire racks and decorate as desired.
