Method
For the dough:
In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter & sugar until fluffy. Add egg & vanilla. Beat until incorporated.
Sift in flour, baking powder, baking soda & salt. Mix until dough comes together.
Shape into two evenly sized rectangles, cover with plastic wrap & refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
On a lightly floured surface roll out each dough to a 10 by 12-inch rectangle. Spread a thin layer of filling on each dough. Tightly roll each dough into a log & transfer to the fridge. Chill for an hour.
When ready to bake, slice into ½-inch rounds & transfer to a lined baking sheet.
Bake at 375(f) degrees for 12 to 15 minutes, until cooked throughout but not golden. Finish with a drizzle of glaze if desired.
For the filling:
In a small mixing bowl stir together butter, brown sugar & cinnamon until well combined. Keep at room temperature until ready to use.
