Cinnamon Roll Cookies...

I recently found this recipe on another website and it sounds soo good! I can't wait to try it :)

Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Filling:
1/2 cup sugar
2 Tablespoons cinnamon

Dough:
3 c all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt
2 sticks (1 cup) softened unsalted butter
1 c brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla

Icing:
1 c confectioners sugar
1/4 c water

Combine filling ingredients in a small bowl set aside.

Sift flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together in a bowl and set aside. Meanwhile cream butter and brown sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well, then vanilla. With mixer on low speed add dry ingredients just until mixed. Do not overmix.

Refrigerate dough for 1 hour.

On a piece of wax paper or parchment pat dough into a 16 x 9" rectangle. Dough will be sticky. Wet fingers to keep dough from sticking. Sprinkle half the filling over the dough. Roll the dough into a log starting on the long side, use the paper to help the process and make the log as tight as possible. Sprinkle the remaining filling all over the outside of the log. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours.

Preheat oven to 350. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Slice dough into 1/4" slices and place on baking sheets 1" apart. Bake 10-12 minutes or until slightly brown. Cool cookies completely. Mix icing ingredients then drizzle over the top. Let icing dry completely.
