Cinnamon Sugar Shortbread Cookie Bars
Description
This recipe blends room temperature butter with powdered sugar for a creamy base before incorporating flour and cornstarch to form a soft, non-sticky dough. It is spread evenly in an ungreased rimmed 10x15 baking sheet and pricked with a fork to prevent bubbling during baking. A cinnamon and sugar mix is sprinkled on top, which bakes into a sweet, crisp layer contrasting the tender shortbread beneath.
Baked at 325°F for about 40 minutes until edges lightly golden, the bars are cut while still warm for clean slices. These bars are a straightforward, classic treat with a balance of butter richness and warm cinnamon sweetness, suitable for dessert, tea-time, or casual snacking.
