Cinnamon Swirl Cookies

3/4 cup unsalted butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1 egg

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 1/2 tsps. baking powder

2 tsps. ground cinnamon

2 tbsps. caster sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Beat butter and brown sugar together in a bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and the egg.

Sift together the flour and baking powder. Add to the butter mixture. Mix well.

Roll out to form a rectangle 4mm thick (less than 1/4 inch).

Combine cinnamon and caster sugar and sprinkle over dough. Roll up like a Swiss Roll, starting from one long side. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm.

When ready to bake, unwrap the roll and slice thinly (about 3/4 inch).

Place on greased baking sheets and bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.

Cool for about 10 minutes on the baking sheets before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
