Combine till the dough is simply mixed then use a rubber spatula to assist it kind a extra cohesive ball of dough.
  • Chill. Wrap the cookie dough ball in plastic. Chill for 1-2 hours, till agency however pliable.
  • Prep the cinnamon filling. Mix the brown sugar and cinnamon in a single small bowl then soften the butter in one other bowl.

  • Kind cookie dough roll. Brush the cookie dough with melted butter then sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Reduce the dough into inch-wide strips. Roll the primary one and place it within the middle of the pan. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough strips, inserting each on the finish of the earlier strip working outwards. There will probably be some house on the sting of the pan.
  • Bake. Bake for 18-22 minutes, till the perimeters are golden and the middle appears set.

  • Don’t make the rectangles too lengthy or skinny. When rolling out the dough, don’t make the rectangle form too large as you don’t need the strips to be too lengthy or skinny and tear simply. I roll it out to about 1/4 to 1/3 inch thick.
  • Chill the dough once more if wanted. Once you’re rolling the strips of cookie dough, if you happen to discover the dough too smooth and tough to work with, strive popping it again within the fridge for 10 minutes or so.
  • Know the dough spreads. There may even be some house on the sting of the pan when you’ve added all of the dough. That’s okay because the dough will unfold a bit because it bakes and fill the pan.
