🥬 Vegetarian 🥜 Nut-Free ☪️ Halal ✡️ Kosher

This is a lovely, not too sweet shortbread, topped with cinnamon sugar. I use walnuts, but feel free to use any nut you wish!

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butter , softened
  • 0.33 cups white sugar
  • 0.5 cups finely ground walnuts
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1.67 cups all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 cups white sugar
  • 4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, cream together the butter and 1/3 cup of sugar until smooth. Mix in the walnuts, vanilla, salt and flour until well blended. Shape tablespoonfuls of dough into crescent shapes. Place 1 inch apart on an ungreased baking sheet.

  3. 3

    Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottoms begin to brown. In a small bowl, mix together the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar and cinnamon. Roll the cookies in the cinnamon sugar while still hot. Cool completely before storing in an airtight tin.
