Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookie!

Directions

1. 1
   1. In the bowl of your stand mixer using the paddle attachment, blend cookie mix, softened butter, flour, and egg until a dough forms.
2. 2
   2. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough to about 1/4-inch thickness in a rectangle shape.
3. 3
   3. Brush the top of the dough with melted butter.
4. 4
   4. In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon. Spread this evenly over the dough.
5. 5
   5. Begin to roll up dough, starting at the long side of the rectangle that's closest to you. (If the dough tears, just pinch it back together.)
6. 6
   6. Cut the log of dough in half.
7. 7
   7. Wrap each half in plastic wrap and pop dough in the freezer for 30 minutes (until firm but not hard-if it's too hard it will cause breaking when you cut it).
8. 8
   8. Heat oven to 375 F.
9. 9
   9. Cover your baking sheet with parchment paper.
10. 10
    10. Take dough out of freezer and begin cutting it into 3/4-inch slices.
11. 11
    11. If dough tears a little as you cut it, just pinch it together a little with your fingers.
12. 12
    12. Place slices about 2 inches apart on the prepared cookie sheet.
13. 13
    13. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove cookies from the oven and place them on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.
14. 14
    14. If you want to make the frosting, just combine the milk and powdered sugar until you have a smooth consistency then drizzle over the cookies. I skipped this because the cookies were so delicious without it!
