Mini Nut Roll Cookie

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a small bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, brown sugar, and cinnamon until well combined. Set aside.

3. In a separate larger bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter-sugar mixture and beat until well incorporated.

5. Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.

6. Divide the dough into two equal portions and shape each portion into a log about 8 inches long.

7. Spread the nut mixture evenly on a flat surface. Roll each dough log in the nut mixture, pressing gently so the nuts adhere to the dough.

8. Place the nut-coated dough logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.

10. Remove from the oven and let the logs cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes.

11. While still warm, carefully slice the baked logs into mini nut roll cookies, about 1 inch wide each. Use a sharp knife for clean cuts.

12. Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
