ALMOST-FAMOUS CINNAMON BUNS



Almost-Famous Cinnamon Buns image

Categories     dessert

Time 2h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 cup whole milk
One 1/4-ounce packet active dry yeast (2 1/2 teaspoons)
1/4 cup plus 1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for the bowl
1 large egg yolk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more if needed
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
All-purpose flour, for dusting
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3 tablespoons ground cinnamon
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

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.

CINNAMON COOKIES

These are one of the best cookies I have ever eaten. They make up easily, and they disappear fast. I make these every year when we put up our Christmas Tree. I serve them with hot Cocoa while we decorate our tree. I swear the cookies are anticipated as much as the tree!

Categories     Dessert

Time 42m

Yield 16 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups all-purpose flour, for dusting
2 (32 ounce) packages refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough
1 (7 1/3 ounce) can cinnamon roll dough (with glaze)

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.
  • Bake cookies:.
  • Place four well-spaced dough balls per baking sheet; press gently to flatten dough to 3/4- inch thick.
  • Bake until light brown on top, and golden on the bottom, 15 to 17 minutes, rotating baking sheets halfway through cooking. Remove to a rack to cool. Drizzle with cinnamon bun glaze, if desired.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a stand mixer, you can make the dough by hand. Just be sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, and then mix in the eggs one at a time.
  • If you want a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the dough hold its shape and prevent it from spreading too much.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off to create the cinnamon swirl.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These cinnamon bun cookies are a delicious and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, and they are sure to be a hit with family and friends. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give these cookies a try - you won't be disappointed!
