Cinnabon Roll Spiral Cookies!!!

DIRECTIONS

• For both cinnamon mixtures, mix (in separate bowls) well, set aside.
• For cookie dough, combine shortening and dark brown sugar in large bowl.
• Beat til well blended.
• Beat in eggs and vanilla til very well blended.
• Combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon in small bowl.
• Add to creamed mixture, mix well.
• Turn dough onto sheet of waxed paper and spread/pat out to a 9x7" rectangle.
• Sprinkle evenly with Inside cinnamon mixture.
• Roll up jelly-roll style into a log.
• Dust all sides with Outside cinnamon mixture.
• Wrap tightly with plastic wrap.
• Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
• Heat oven to 375º, spray cookie sheets with butter-flavored cooking spray.
• Cut cold log into about 1/4" slices. It's ok if you can't slice that thin.
• Bake for 8 minutes or til lightly browned on top.
• Cool on cookie sheets for 4 minutes.
• Then remove from cookie sheets, and cool the rest of the way on wire racks.
• When cool, mix glaze ingredients well using as much or little milk as needed for a thick yet pipeable consistency.
• Pipe glaze over each cookie.
• HINT:
• Be careful when rolling this dough. If it starts to crack, smooth them. Roll slowly.
• Also, I found it easier when you slice them, let the slice rest on the knife when moving them to the cookie sheet. If they fall apart a bit, don't fret, just push them back together! They bake up just fine!
• Makes 3-4 dozen.
