COOKIES
– 1 package dry yeast
– 1/4 cup warm water
– 4 cups sifted flour
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– 1/4 cup sugar
– 1 cup butter (2 sticks)
– 2 eggs beaten
– 1 cup scalded milk
– 1 cup brown sugar
– 1 tablespoon cinnamon
FROSTING
– 1/4 cup room temperature butter (half stick)
– 2 cups powdered sugar
– 1 teaspoon vanilla
– 2 tablespoons heavy cream
INSTRUCTIONS
Dissolve package of yeast in 1/4 cup warm water (110-115 degrees is best) with one teaspoon of sugar to help feed the yeast. In a large bowl, combine flour, salt and sugar. Cut in butter as you would a pastry dough.
In a separate bowl, combine beaten eggs, vanilla, proofed yeast and scalded milk. Mix together to combine wet ingredients. Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and mix together. The dough will be very shaggy and wet. If you are worried, do not fear! It is unlike any other yeast dough.
Once mixed together, cover the bowl tightly and place in the refrigerator for at least eight hours (up to ten hours).
Once the dough has rested in the fridge, you will notice it has risen slightly and be much easier to handle. In a bowl, mix together brown sugar and cinnamon and set aside. On a lightly floured surface, separate dough into three sections. Working with one section, roll into a 12 x 15 inch rectangle. Sprinkle evenly with 1/3 cup of brown sugar and cinnamon mixture, leaving a one inch border on the long side.
Roll up as you would cinnamon rolls or a jelly roll. Slice into one inch cookies and place on a greased cookie sheet. Press lightly with floured hand and place into preheated 350-degree oven for 8-10 minutes. The cookies will puff and brown slightly. Let cool five minutes on pan then remove and place on a cooling rack.
For the frosting, combine all the ingredients and mix at high speed until smooth and creamy. Frost the cookies while they are still slightly warm so they are coated perfectly.
