Ingredients
CINNAMON SHORTBREAD
- 2½ cups all purpose flour
- 1 pinch salt*
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 cup butter softened
- ½ cup brown sugar packed
*If using unsalted butter then add ¼ teaspoon salt. Be sure to use a good quality butter, apparently this year 2022, store brand butter quality is not what it used to be. Less fat could mean a dry not so tasty cookie.
CINNAMON / SUGAR FOR ROLLING
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ½ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
CINNAMON / SUGAR FOR ROLLING
- In a small bowl mix together the granulated sugar and cinnamon, set aside.
CINNAMON SHORTBREAD
- In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, salt and cinnamon, set aside.
- In the bowl of the mixer, on medium-low speed cream the butter and sugar until creamy approximately 2-3 minutes.
- Gradually add the flour mixture and mix until almost combined. Move to a flat surface and gently knead to form a compact dough. Divide in two parts and form into two logs 4 inches (10 cm) long, or form into a single dough ball (if making cut out cookies). Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 60 minutes.
- Pre-heat oven to 325F (160C). Line 1-2 cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and slice into ¼ inch slices or on a lightly floured flat surface roll the dough into a ¼ inch thickness, with your favourite cookie cutters cut out. Roll the slices or cut outs in the cinnamon sugar mixture and place on prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 13-15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes then move to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure you use a high protein flour (about 11-12%) to prevent spreading.
- The baked cooled cookies should be stored in an airtight container and kept in a cool area. They will keep for up to a week. They can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to ten days.
- Cool the cookies completely before placing in an airtight freezer safe bag or container. They will keep for up to two to three months.
- To thaw the frozen cookies, I always remove them from the tin and place them on a plate ready to be served. That way condensation doesn’t occur to make them soggy.
