CINNABUN COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter, shortening, light brown sugar and white sugar until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time then stir in the vanilla. Combine the 1 tablespoon cinnamon, flour, baking powder and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small microwave safe dish, heat the 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup of butter and 2 teaspoons cinnamon in the microwave. Stir frequently until butter is melted and the mixture is well blended.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half of the dough to a 12x6 inch rectangle. Spread 1/3 of the cinnamon mixture over each rectangle. Roll each one lengthwise into a log. Cut into 1 inch segments. Use remaining filling to place a small dollop of the mixture onto the cookie sheet where each cookie will be placed, About every 3 inches. Place 1 cookie onto each dollop with the cut side down.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Flip cookie sheet over onto a tray to remove cookies while they are still very hot. If the cookies are stuck, heat the pan in the oven again for a few minutes to soften the cinnamon dollops.

ALMOST-FAMOUS CINNAMON BUNS

Steps:

• Make the dough: Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over low heat until it reaches about 100. Remove from the heat and sprinkle in the yeast and 1/4 teaspoon sugar (don't stir). Set aside until foamy, 5 minutes. Whisk in the melted butter, egg yolk and vanilla.
• Whisk the flour, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, the salt and nutmeg in the bowl of a stand mixer. Make a well in the center and pour in the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until thick and slightly sticky. Knead on medium speed until the dough gathers around the hook, 6 minutes. (Add up to 2 more tablespoons flour if necessary.)
• Remove the dough and shape into a ball. Butter the mixer bowl and return the dough to the bowl, turning to coat with butter. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1 hour 15 minutes.
• Roll out the dough, fill and cut into buns (see Cook's Note). Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan; place the buns cut-side down in the pan, leaving space between each. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 40 minutes. Preheat the oven to 325.
• Bake the buns until golden brown, about 35 minutes. Cool in the pan 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make the glaze: Sift the confectioners' sugar into a bowl, then whisk in the cream and melted butter. Transfer the buns to a rack and spoon the glaze on top while still warm.

Steps:

• Directions:.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F On a lightly floured work surface, using a floured rolling pin, roll out each log of cookie dough into a 8 x 8 inch square (there will be two). Transfer each sheet of dough to a cookie sheet dusted with flour. Using a floured pastry wheel or dough cutter slice each sheet of dough into 2" strips crosswise. Repeat lengthwise, to create 16 squares. Place rolled dough in freezer. Repeat with remaining dough to create 32 squares total.
• Making sure to keep your work surface dusted with flour; use your hands to shape the cinnamon roll dough into a 16-inch log. Slice the log into 16 (1-inch pieces), chill on a pan until firm, about 10 minutes.
• Remove cookie dough from the freezer. Top 16 cookie dough squares with a section of cinnamon dough. Start to form "sandwiches" place the remaining cookie dough squares on top of the dough squares. Working one at a time, pinch the edges of each cookie "sandwich" until the cinnamon dough is enclosed. Using your hands, roll the "sandwiches" into balls, being careful to keep the cinnamon dough within the cookie dough.
