Cinnabun Cookies

1/2 Cup Butter (1 stick)
1/2 Cup Vegetable Shortening (Crisco Butter Flavor)
1 Cup Brown Sugar, Light, Packed
1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar
2 Large Eggs
3 teas. Watkins Vanilla
2 teas. Watkins Cinnamon
3 Cups All-Purpose Flour
2 teas. Watkins Baking Powder
1 teas. Salt

Cinnamon Centers:
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar, Light, Packed
1/4 Cup Butter
2 teas. Watkins Cinnamon

Combine flour, cinnamon, and baking powder in a small bowl and mix with a fork. Set aside. Soften butter/shortening in a microwave oven, stirring every 15 seconds until very soft. Add granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and vanilla and beat well. Add each egg separately, beating until creamy. Add flour mixture (1/2 cup at a time) while beating. Refrigerate for about an hour in a covered bowl. Sprinkle a small amount of flour on the surface of a cutting board (or flat counter top) and roll out about 1/2 the chilled dough until its about 12-16 inches long and about 6-8 inches wide. Prepare the Cinnamon Center Spread at this time. Use a spatula to spread about 1/3 of the center mixture across the surface of the dough. Now roll up lengthwise and cut in about 1" segments. This should produce about 12-16 cookies.

Pre-heat oven to 375 15 minutes prior to first batch. Place a small dollop of the Center Spread and center the unbaked cookie right on top of it, or you could paint the top of the rolled cookie and invert it -gooey side down onto the baking sheet. Drop onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes checking every two minutes after 8 minutes for golden brown appearance. Remove sheet from oven and let stand 5 minutes before transferring to a cool/flat surface. Rinse and dry cookie sheet between batches. Store in an air-tight container for up to one week. Makes about [3] dozen cookies.

Cinnamon Center Spread:
Combine the butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a microwave safe dish (like a Pyrex measuring cup) and microwave to 30 seconds. Remove and mix. continue to heat in the microwave until the mixture starts to boil or up to another 45 seconds. Mix until smooth.
