Cinnamon Shortbread
Buttery, melt-in-the-mouth Cinnamon Shortbread is a must to add to your Fall and/or Christmas baking list – with a Cinnamon Honey glaze too !
Buttery and melt-in-the-mouth, as shortbread should be – but this time, Cinnamon Shortbread, perfect to add to your Fall and/or Christmas baking !
These are so good, and the Cinnamon Honey glaze is absolutely divine.
This is one of the recipes which is always first on my baking list for the holidays, and I even bake these Shortbread cookies anytime during the year.
Baking shortbread is my favorite type of cookies, it is mix, bake and slice. No rolling out dough or bothering with cookie cutters.
I remember the first batch I baked, it did not last long, and after that I decided to always, but always bake at least two batches.
The recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, which is great for the holidays. A cookie container (or two) can be filled quickly.
One batch of the recipe will give you easily 40 portions, all depending on your cut.

Love cinnamon!
When I saw the words cinnamon and shortbread in the same title, I had to see what it was all about. These look delicious, I'll definitely be trying them out!
Cinnamon is a crowd pleaser and that makes this a great combination.
So funny I haven't come across a cinnamon shortbread recipe, such a great idea. Thanks for sharing it on foodie friday.
