I always love to have shortbread cookies with hot tea in a pretty little tea cup... I can pretend that I am in England and it's afternoon tea time! I usually like to just buy the Girl Scout shortbread cookies, but this year I decided to make my own! As it turns out, these homemade shortbread cookies taste much better the Girl Scout version. And they are so easy to make, with only 4 ingredients. The cinnamon was the perfect touch to compliment my favorite tea.
Recipe: Cinnamon Shortbread Cookies
Ingredients…
1½ cups Butter, softened
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
3 cups All-purpose Flour
3 cups All-purpose Flour
Directions…
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a large mixing bowl, beat butter until smooth. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar and cinnamon. Then, gradually mix in the flour, until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as you mix.
Sprinkle a clean counter top with flour and roll out the dough to be about ¼ inch thick. Use additional flour, as needed. Use a cookie cutter to create your desired shape or just cut the dough into squares. Place the cookies on to a cookie sheet, covered with parchment paper.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until they are just barely golden. Place cookies on a wire rack to cool.
Pour a cup of tea and enjoy!
