Ingredients
- 100 g butter (cold, cubed)
- 10 g ground cinnamon
- 1 egg
- 120 g powdered sugar
- 250 g plain flour (sifted)
Procedure
- Prepare the dough: Combine cold butter, sifted flour, and powdered sugar in a bowl. Work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add flavor & structure: Mix in the egg and cinnamon, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Wrap in cling film and chill for an hour.
- Shape the cookies: Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 5 mm thickness. Use a round cutter to create stamp-sized circles, then imprint with a cookie stamp for decoration.
- Bake: Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for about 15 minutes, until lightly golden.
- Cool & serve: Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying.
Final Tip
For an extra festive touch, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar or dip half of each cookie in melted chocolate.
Enjoy! 🥐
