Honey – spiced cinnamon cookie rolls

Ingredients

• For the dough:
• 1 cup all purpose flour
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup softened butter
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tbsp milk
• 1 pinch salt
• 2 tbsp melted butter
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1 tsp honey
• 11/2 tsp cinnamon powder
• 2-3 drops lemon juice or a few drops of vanilla essence
• 1/8 tsp clove powder

Steps

1. Prepare the dough: In a bowl, beat butter and powdered sugar until creamy. Add vanilla essence and salt. In a bowl mix flour & baking powder, add dry ingredients gradually to form a soft dough. Add a spoon of milk if needed to bring it together. Make the filling: In a small bowl, mix melted butter, powdered sugar, honey, cinnamon powder, a pinch of clove powder and 2-3 drops of lemon juice or a few drops of vanilla essence. Stir until smooth and spreadable.
2. Spread the filling: Evenly spread the filling over the roll dough. Roll & chill: Roll the dough tightly from one end into a log. Chill in the fridge for 10 – 15mins to firm it slightly.
3. Slice & bake: Cut into 1/2" thick rounds and place them on a parchment – lined tray. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°c for 12-15 mins or until lightly golden at the edges. Cool & serve: Let them cool – they'll be crisp slightly as they rest. Enjoy warm or at room temperature with tea or coffee.
