Butter Cookies and Cinnamon Rolls: Easy Home Baking Recipes

A five‑ingredient butter‑cookie recipe can be prepared in about five minutes and baked in 13 minutes at 180 °C. The dough uses softened butter, sugar, vanilla sugar, an egg, flour and baking powder, and the cookies are described as soft and melt‑in‑the‑mouth.

The cinnamon‑roll recipe builds a yeasted dough with warm milk, melted butter, eggs, flour, sugar, salt and dry yeast. After a first rise, the dough is rolled out, brushed with butter, and spread with a brown‑sugar‑cinnamon mixture before being rolled, cut into rolls, and given a second rise. The rolls bake at 180 °C for 10‑15 minutes and can be finished with an optional glaze of powdered sugar, water and vanilla extract.
