• On a lightly floured surface, roll out each half of the dough to a 12x6 inch rectangle. Spread 1/3 of the cinnamon mixture over each rectangle. Roll each one lengthwise into a log. Cut into 1 inch segments. Use remaining filling to place a small dollop of the mixture onto the cookie sheet where each cookie will be placed, About every 3 inches. Place 1 cookie onto each dollop with the cut side down.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Flip cookie sheet over onto a tray to remove cookies while they are still very hot. If the cookies are stuck, heat the pan in the oven again for a few minutes to soften the cinnamon dollops.

SLICE-AND-BAKE CINNAMON BUN COOKIES

Steps:

• For the cookies: Crumble the cookie dough into a large bowl and let sit until softened, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, line a 9-inch square cake pan with plastic wrap.
• Add the flour and baking powder to the cookie dough and mix by hand to combine. Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. Add another piece of plastic on top and press the dough into an even layer. Refrigerate until firm, about 15 minutes.
• Combine the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon and salt in a small bowl.
• Remove the top layer of plastic from the dough, then transfer the dough on top of the bottom layer of plastic to a work surface. Spread the butter mixture over the dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Roll the dough into a log, using the plastic wrap to keep it tight. Wrap the cylinder in plastic and freeze until solid, about 2 hours.
• When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
• Cut 1/4 inch off each end of the cylinder with a very sharp knife to reveal the cinnamon swirl. Cut the cylinder into about 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange the slices about 1 1/2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake until just cooked and barely golden on the edges, about 15 minutes. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• For the glaze: Combine the confectioners' sugar, milk, butter and salt in a small bowl. Whisk until smooth. Transfer the mixture to a small piping bag and pipe the icing back and forth in thin stripes over the cookies.

• Arrange cookies 1 inch apart on greased baking sheets.
• Bake cookies in batches in middle of oven until firm but not browned, about 10 minutes. Transfer cookies to a rack to cool. Make cookies with remaining dough in same manner, rerolling scraps no more than twice.

CINNAMON COOKIES

Steps:

• Beat the butter, muscovado sugar, caster sugar and 2 tsp cinnamon together with an electric whisk for 2-3 mins until well-combined. Add the egg, flour, baking powder and raisins, if using, and continue to beat until the mixture becomes a uniform dough. Roll tablespoons of the dough into balls between the palms your hands (you should have 12-15). Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hrs until firm, or overnight. The unbaked dough balls will keep in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months (see tip, below).
• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and line two large baking trays with baking parchment. Place the dough balls 3-4cm apart on the prepared baking trays to allow the mixture to spread without touching. Bake for 10-12 mins until lightly golden at the edges but still soft and gooey in the centre. Leave to cool completely on the baking trays.
• Mix the icing sugar with the remaining cinnamon, then dust over the cookies. Will keep in an airtight container for up to five days.
