Cinnamon Roll Cookies

What do you get when you cross cinnamon rolls and sugar cookies..................an irresistible treat!  I can't decide if I love or hate these cookies.  Seriously, you can't just eat one or two or three....

Ingredients 
1 pouch Betty Crocker® sugar cookie mix 
1/2 cup butter, softened 
1/4 cup all-purpose flour 
1 egg 
1 tablespoon butter, melted 
1/4 cup granulated sugar 
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon 
3/4 cup powdered sugar 
1 tablespoon milk
Directions
1.  In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, softened butter, flour and egg until dough forms. On floured surface, roll dough to about 1/4-inch thickness. Brush with melted butter.
2.  In small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle evenly over dough. Roll up dough jelly-roll fashion, starting at long side. Wrap roll in plastic wrap. Freeze 30 minutes or until firm.
3.  Heat oven to 375°F. Cut dough into 3/4-inch slices. On ungreased cookie sheet, place slices 2 inches apart.
4.  Bake 11 to 12 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 15 minutes.
5.  In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cookies. (If desired--we usually skip the glaze).

Freezing the dough for 30 minutes makes it nice and firm. This makes it easier to cut!
So Good!!!
The Results...
I still hate that these are so irresistible.  Everyone else just loved these cookies!  Plus, the house smells A-mazing while these are baking.  Give these cookies a try and see if you can resist their sweet, cinnamony goodness!
