Cinnamon Shortbread Cutouts Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 2 1/2 cups flour
• 1/8 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Mix:

• 1 Tbs cinnamon
• 1/2 cup sugar

Instructions:

1. Cream the butter and brown sugar together for about 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually mix in the flour, salt, and cinnamon until just combined.
3. Gently knead the dough to form a compact ball. Flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for 60 minutes.
4. Remove the dough from the fridge and allow it to warm slightly. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
5. Use your favorite cookie cutters to cut out shapes. Sprinkle generously with the cinnamon sugar mix.
6. Place cutouts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
7. Bake in a preheated oven at 325°F for 13-15 minutes or until edges are just golden.
8. Cool cookies on a wire rack before serving.
