No-Bake Cinnamon Roll Cookies
Introduction
No-Bake Cinnamon Roll Cookies deliver all the cozy flavors of your favorite cinnamon rolls, but without the hassle of baking or waiting for dough to rise. These easy, indulgent treats combine the warmth of cinnamon, the sweetness of a creamy glaze, and the comforting texture of soft cookies in a matter of minutes. They are perfect for busy holidays, last-minute parties, or anytime you crave a nostalgic dessert without turning on your oven.
Why Make No-Bake Cinnamon Roll Cookies?
These cookies are a true crowd-pleaser because they’re irresistibly delicious, unbelievably simple, and can be whipped up in less than thirty minutes. The buttery cinnamon filling is wrapped in a tender cookie-like dough, rolled into bite-sized spirals, and finished with a creamy drizzle—offering all the satisfaction of a classic cinnamon roll in a portable, no-fuss bite.
Creating the Cookie “Dough” Base
The core of this recipe is a soft, no-bake dough that’s easy to handle and flavorsome. For precise measurements and consistent results, use the Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display to accurately weigh your ingredients. Mixing is a breeze in any standard bowl, but for optimal evenness, a spatula works best to bring the dough together without overworking it.
Mixing the Cinnamon Swirl Filling
A proper cinnamon roll cookie needs a rich filling. Combine melted butter, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon until smooth and spreadable. For an extra-silky texture, process the filling using the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, ensuring the sugar fully dissolves into the butter for maximum flavor infusion.
Forming and Shaping the Cookies
Roll out your dough between two sheets of parchment for mess-free, uniform cookies. The Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll will save you time and make transferring and rolling the dough incredibly easy. Carefully spread the cinnamon mixture, roll up the log, and slice into perfect swirls—just like classic cinnamon rolls!
Finishing Touches: Glaze and Presentation
For the finishing touch, whip up a quick vanilla glaze to drizzle over your cookies. If you’re preparing these in advance or want to share with friends, store them in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 to keep them fresh and maintain their delightful chew.
