All the goodness of a cinnamon roll rolled up into a cute and tasty cookie.

Ingredients

Basic sugar cookie dough
1/4 c. light brown sugar
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions

For the Cookies: Start with the basic sugar cookie dough. Shape the dough into 2 disks; roll each disk between 2 sheets of lightly floured parchment paper into a 7 x 10-inch rectangle, 1/4 inch thick. Chill until firm but pliable, about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, heat oven to 350 degrees F.
Line 4 large baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, combine light brown sugar, granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the disks with the sugar mixture. Starting with one of the long ends facing you, tightly roll up 1 disk using the parchment paper to neatly guide the dough (pressing the dough back together if it cracks).
Working quickly, repeat with the remaining disk of dough. Return 1 roll of dough to the refrigerator. Cut the other roll into 1/4-inch-thick slices and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing them at least 1 inch apart. Bake, rotating the positions of the pans halfway through, until light golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
Let cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough, letting it soften just until pliable but still firm before slicing.
For the Icing: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup confectioners' sugar with 4 teaspoon whole milk. Drizzle the icing over the cooled cookies.

PCOS-Friendly Foods in This Recipe

This recipe contains the following foods that may benefit PCOS management: Cinnamon.

Cinnamon is one of the best ingredients that someone with insulin sensitivity can eat. Half a teaspoon of cinnamon per day has been shown to be very effective at normalizing blood sugar levels. Cinnamon contains hydroxychalcone, which is thought to enhance the effects of insulin. It has also been suggested that Cinnamon prevents post-meal blood sugar spikes by slowing the gastric emptying rate - meaning that food digests slowly. (Reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11506060).
