Cinnamon Roll Style Shortbread Cookies

At Christmas, there are yule logs, of course, but not only! There are also cookies, in all shapes and often well-flavored, like here with these rolled cookies in the style of cinnamon rolls: a simple and buttery cookie dough and a filling like in a cinnamon roll for a melt-in-your-mouth cookie, to enjoy with tea or hot chocolate 😉
 
Ingredients:
I used cinnamon from Koro: code ILETAITUNGATEAU for 5% off the entire site (non-affiliated).

Equipment:
I used the adjustable rolling pin (perfect for achieving a perfectly even dough thickness) from Guy Demarle: referral code FLAVIE10 to enter at registration for €10 off (affiliated).



Preparation time: 20 minutes + 1h30 resting + 20 minutes baking
For about thirty cookies:

 Ingredients:

 For the dough:
 1 egg
 70g of sugar
 125g of softened butter
 250g of flour
 
 For the filling:
 50g of softened butter
 1 large tablespoon of cinnamon
 85g of brown sugar
 
 Recipe:

 Mix the softened butter with the sugar.
 
 
 
 Add the egg, then the flour and form a ball.
 
 
 
 Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper, to a thickness of 2 to 3mm.
 
 
 
 Let the dough rest in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
 Then, prepare the filling: mix the softened butter with the sugar and cinnamon.
 
 
 
 Spread the filling over the cookie dough, then roll it up to form a log. Place it back in the fridge for at least 1h30, then cut out cookies (they should be at least 0.8cm thick, otherwise they will open during baking). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
 
 
 
 Bake in the preheated oven at 165°C for 15 to 20 minutes, then let cool before enjoying!
