Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Ingredients

1/2 cup salted butter softened (I used all butter, no margarine)
1/2 cup margarine softened
1-1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 egg
2 TBS light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla extract
2- 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt

Cinnamon Filling

1/4 cup butter partially melted
1/2 cup brown sugar
1-1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1-1/2 tbsp all purpose flour

Toppings

1/4 cup white chocolate chips (I used 1/2 cup)

Instructions
1.  Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line two baking sheets with either parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.

2. In a small bowl, combine the ingredients in the "cinnamon filling", mixing until smooth.
Spread the mixture onto one of your prepared baking sheets until about 1/4 inch thick.
Place the pan in the freezer until needed.

3. In the bowl of a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer, cream together the butter, margarine and granulated sugar until light in color and fluffy in texture.

4. Scrape the sides of the bowl and add in the egg, corn syrup and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

5. Add the flour, baking soda and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

6. Remove the cinnamon filling from the freezer and chop into 1/4-1/2 inch squares.
Add the frozen cinnamon filling to the mixer and pulse the mixer just a few times to distribute the cinnamon filling pieces in the dough. Do not mix so much that everything is completely combined, we want there to be swirls and chunks of cinnamon.

7. Portion out the cookie dough using a cookie scoop for uniform sized cookies. For small cookies, use 1 1/2 TBS of dough (#40 scoop) for large cookies, use 3 TBS of dough (#24 scoop).

8. Bake at 350° F until the cookies spread, flatten and are no longer glossy on top. (I did small and baked for 8 minutes). Remove from the oven, and allow the cookies to cool on the pan.

9. Once the cookies have cooled, melt your white chocolate chips in the microwave. Microwave for 30 seconds and then stir. Repeat until melted.

10. Transfer the melted chocolate chips to a zip top bag, snip the corner and drizzle the white chocolate onto the cookies.
