    Cinnamon Shortbread Cookies for your Thanksgiving table. Quick and delicious!

    cinnamon shortbread cookies recipe

    Cut-out shortbread cookies are getting popular this time of year. As the weather gets colder, we seem to have more time for baking. No rush to run to the beach and enjoy the sun. You want to pull out mixing bowls, whip butter with sugar and sniff vanilla just before adding it to the dough.

    Let's add one of this season's most popular spice: cinnamon. It can take a dessert from good to amazing, like this reader's favorite: Cinnamon Roll Cake. It's a personal preference as to how much to use in a recipe. I used 1/2 a teaspoon in these cookies but next time I will make them, I am doubling the amount for sure.

    Shortbread Cookies with cinnamon

    My girls have a kids baking set and were insistent on using their leaf cookie cutter. And so we did. 🙂 Perfect for Thanksgiving celebration, don't you think? 🙂

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 c unsalted butter , room temperature
    • 3/4 c confectioners' sugar
    • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • 2.25 c all-purpose flour

    Instructions

    • In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugar and mix with electric mixer until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
    • Add cinnamon and vanilla and mix until combined.

    • Divide the dough in half, wrap each half in waxed paper, flatten into a disk and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
    • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
    • Unwrap each disk and place on lightly floured surface. Roll out into 1/4 inch thick circle. Cut out cookies. Place them on prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake cookies for 24 to 28 minutes, or until they start to brown on the edges.
    • Cool on sheet for 2 minutes, transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.

      I love shortbread!! How can you go wrong with a cookie made primarily with butter? 🙂 And the addition of cinnamon sounds wonderfully festive for this time of year.

      Yea, baking at this time of the year comes naturally. Cookies are my favourites of the season, taste really good with cup of spiced tea or hot chocolate and mulled wine. Your cinnamon scented cookies will be a great addition to any warming beverage, good book and warm blanket 🙂
