Ingredients
  

Dough:

  • 1 cup salted butter softened
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 6 cups all purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking soda
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp salt

Filling:

  • ½ cup butter melted
  • 1 ½ cups brown sugar
  • 3 Tbsp cinnamon

Frosting:

  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tsp milk (more if needed)

Instructions
 

  • Cream butter and sugar till creamy. Add eggs, vanilla, and sour cream. Beat well.
  • Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir in until well combined. Cover and chill for about 2 hours.
  • Prepare filling by combining brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Remove dough from fridge and divide into 4 sections. Roll one piece out into a 18x5" rectangle on a floured surface. Spread with 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and about 6 tablespoons of the brown sugar cinnamon mixture.
  • Roll up into a long log shape, and pinch the edge to seal.
  • Cut into 1/2" thick slices and place on parchment or silpat lined cookie sheets.
  • Bake at 350° for about 9-11 minutes. Repeat with remaining 3 sections of dough. Let cookies cool on cooling racks and then drizzle with cream cheese frosting.
  • For frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter till smooth. Add powdered sugar and enough milk to make a thin icing. I like to put it in a ziplock bag, snip the corner, and drizzle the frosting over the cookies. Much easier to make them pretty that way!
