Cinnamon Roll Cookies were one of the first popular recipes on Mama Loves Food – make them for your next cookie exchange!

Cinnamon Roll Cookies are the best part of breakfast and dessert all in one. When I made these originally, my brother told me I ruined him for life. And while I think possibly he was being a touch dramatic. They really are that good.

Cinnamon, butter, and sugar in a chewy sugar cookie. Mmmmm, yes. (And if you love easy cookie recipes, definitely also try our chocolate cake mix cookies and our carrot cake cookies!).

Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Make sure you get plenty of yummy cinnamon and sugar on your cookies – just like breakfast cinnamon rolls, we want these cinnamon roll cookies to be over the top with flavor and deliciousness. Definitely eat them with friends.

Everyone knows calories don’t count when you’re with friends.

Cinnamon Roll Cookies Tips

Definitely refrigerate the dough for at least a couple hours (or freeze for a short time), this makes it much easier to cut. I prefer my cinnamon roll cookies on the thinner side, but feel free to go nuts and cut yours thicker!

The thicker you go, the longer you should freeze though, otherwise they may spread too much. Baking on a silicone mat will keep the cookies from sticking – important since the filling has sugar which P.S. is super sticky.

But P.P.S. is super delicious.

Cinnamon Roll Cookie Preferences

Would you eat these Cinnamon Roll Cookies for breakfast or dessert? Maybe lunch? I’m thinking dessert. As in dessert after breakfast, dessert after lunch, and dessert after dinner! Maybe even dessert after dessert. Is that a thing?

How would you make your Cinnamon Roll Cookies? Thick or thin? I like to make mine thin, almost crispy and then drenched in icing, because icing is so good. So. Very. Good.

My brother prefers his cookies thicker and chewy. You could even serve the icing separately as a dip for the cinnamon roll cookies.
