Instructions
Make Dough: Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla, mixing well. Whisk dry ingredients separately, then gradually add to wet mixture until dough forms.
Roll & Fill: Divide dough into two portions. Roll each into a large rectangle. Brush with melted butter, sprinkle evenly with brown sugar and cinnamon.
Swirl: Roll tightly from the long side. Wrap in plastic and chill for at least 1 hour.
Slice & Bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Slice chilled dough into ½-inch rounds. Bake 10–12 minutes, until edges are lightly golden. Cool completely.
Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, coffee, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over cookies.
Enjoy: Let glaze set before storing or serving.
