Ingredients

  • ½ cup butter, softened

  • ½ cup butter flavored shortening

  • 1 cup light brown sugar

  • ½ cup white sugar

  • 2 eggs

  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • ¼ cup butter

  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.
