Valentine’s Day Cookies

I gave one of these strawberry cinnamon roll cookies to Pat and he seriously didn’t believe it was a cookie. It was the size of my palm. He swore it was an actual cinnamon roll! So if you don’t like your cookies large and in charge, you could make them half the size. But he ate the entire cookie…so it can be done!

I just love these for VDay because they’re cute and sweet and filled with strawberry. And those little strawberry hearts add some extra fun too. Here are a few other Valentine’s Day cookies to try!

How to Make Strawberry Cinnamon Roll Cookies

Lucky for me, this is a pretty easy cookie recipe. Strawberry cinnamon roll cookies aren’t tough to make, and they turn out so good!

  1. Use a stand mixer to cream together the butter and sugar. Then mix in the eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder, and sour cream. Then mix in the flour, one cup at a time.
  2. Take the dough and form it into a large disc, and wrap it in plastic wrap. Let it chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
  3. Now take the dough out of the refrigerator and cut it into two sections. Roll one section out at a time on a floured surface, and then spread strawberry jam in an even layer over the dough.
  4. Next, roll up the dough lengthwise to make a log shape, and cut it into 10-12 cookies (about 1 inch thick each).
  5. Place cookies on a baking sheet and bake for 10-14 minutes at 350°F. Let them cool for 5 minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
  6. While the cookies are cooling, microwave the chocolate and olive oil together to make the white chocolate icing. Then drizzle it over the cookies!

These cinnamon roll cookies are just so tasty. They have such a great texture and such a great flavor! Be sure to read the recipe card for more detailed instructions.

Ingredients 

  • 2 cups granulated sugar 400 grams
  • 1 cup unsalted butter 226 grams, room temperature (2 sticks)
  • 3 large eggs 150 grams, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 grams
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda 12 grams
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder 8 grams
  • 1 cup sour cream 227 grams, room temperature
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 6 cups all-purpose flour 720 grams
  • ¼ cup strawberry jam 85 grams (or strawberry ice cream topping)
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips 170 grams
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil 13 grams

Optional Garnishes

  • Sanding sugar
  • Strawberries cut into hearts

Instructions 

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the sugar and butter together until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes. Once creamed, mix in the eggs, vanilla, baking soda, baking powder, sour cream, and salt. Add the flour one cup at a time, mixing as you go.
    2 cups granulated sugar, 1 cup unsalted butter, 3 large eggs, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 cup sour cream, 6 cups all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • Form the dough into a large disc and wrap it in plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Towards the end of chilling, preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Once chilled, cut the dough into two sections. (If you'd like the cookies to be smaller, you can cut the dough into 4 pieces) Work with one section at a time. On a well-floured (important) surface, roll out each section until about ¼-½ inch thick. Spoon 2 tablespoons of jam onto each rolled section and smooth out evenly. Roll each section lengthwise, making 2 logs. Use a sharp knife to cut each log into about 10-12 1-inch cookies. I used a bread knife. If you're making smaller cookies, you can make them thinner as well.
    ¼ cup strawberry jam
  • Place cookies on the prepared sheet, making sure they're about 1½ inches apart.
  • Bake for 10-14 minutes for the bigger cookies and 8-10 minutes for the smaller cookies. Watch closely because ovens vary. Cookies are done when the edges begin to brown and the middles are totally set.
  • Let cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack.
  • While the cookies cool, microwave the white chocolate and olive oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between sessions. When fully melted, use a spoon to put the white chocolate "icing" on each cookie.
    1 cup white chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Sprinkle each with some sanding sugar for extra sweetness and top with strawberry hearts if desired.

I think these look amazing! But I think I would substitute the ‘olive oil’ in the icing with a bit of vegetable shortening :) Cant wait to try!4 stars
