Method
 

Steps
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently until just combined.
  5. Using a rounded tablespoon, drop dough onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden around the edges and soft in the center.
  7. Cool slightly on sheets before transferring to a wire rack.
  8. Whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth, then drizzle over cooled cookies.

Notes

Chill the dough for 30 minutes for thicker cookies. Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Don't skip the glaze for that classic cinnamon roll taste.
