Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies

What's with this cinnamon roll phase we seem to be in right now? There are lots of cinnamon roll flavored treats and desserts out there. I tried these sugar cookies this past week and they got a big thumbs-up!

Cinnamon Roll Sugar Cookies - 9x13 pan
2 1/4 cups + 2 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp cornstarch
1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3 1/2 Tbsp powdered milk
10 Tbsp unsalted butter, softened
2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
3 Tbsp sour cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Cream Cheese Frosting
6 oz cream cheese, softened
6 Tbsp salted butter, softened
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 1/2 - 3 cups powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl whisk together flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and powdered milk for 30 seconds, set aside. In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy, scraping down sides and bottom of bowl occasionally. Add in eggs one at time mixing until combined after each addition. Blend in sour cream and vanilla. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in dry ingredients and mix just until combined. Butter and 13 by 9-inch baking dish, then with buttered hands gently press and spread cookie dough into an even layer in dish. Bake in preheated oven until toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 19 - 21 minutes. Allow to cool completely then frost with cream cheese frosting. Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.
For the cream cheese frosting:
In the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip together cream cheese and butter until pale and fluffy, occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl. Stir in vanilla. With mixer set on low speed, slowly add in powdered sugar and continue to mix until fluffy.

Of course, they taste even better if you serve them on a Mickey plate!
