Step 1
In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In a large bowl, beat 1 cup of butter, cream cheese, 2/3 cup sugar, and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in flour mixture 1/2 cup at a time, blending well after each addition. The dough will be soft and slightly elastic. Form dough into 2 squares, about 1 in. thick. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Step 3
For filling, stir together 1/4 cup butter, 1/2 cup sugar and cinnamon in small bowl until well combined.
Step 4
On a floured surface, roll one square into a 12 in. x 9 in. rectangle about 1/4 in. thick (leave the remaining square in the refrigerator until ready to use). Using half the filling mixture, spread a thin layer completely covering dough. Starting at long end, roll dough tightly into a spiral. Wrap with plastic wrap and freeze 30 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare cookie pans with parchment paper.
Step 6
Cut dough logs into 1/4 in. slices. Place on prepared cookie pans.
Step 7
Bake 10-12 minutes or until edges of cookies are pale golden brown. Cool cookies on pan on cooling grid 5 minutes. Remove from pan; cool completely on the grid.
