Cinnamon biscuits are the perfect combination of vanilla and cinnamon, filling your home with the most amazing, sweet aromatic smells as they bake. Simple and scrumptious, they make a great recipe for edible Christmas gifts. 

INGREDIENTS LIST
 

  • 150 g butter (softened)
  • 150 g light brown sugar
  • 1 medium egg (50g total at room temperature)
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract or 1/4 tsp of vanilla paste
  • 300 g plain flour (all-purpose)
  • 50 g ground almonds
  • tsp baking powder
  • 3 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp fine sea salt

Preparation
 

  • In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, beat the softened butter and sugar together until combined, then add the egg and the vanilla.
  • Next, add the flour, ground almonds, baking powder and cinnamon.
  • Mix the ingredients until they start to come together and then use your hands to form a dough ball. Flatten the dough into a disc, wrap it in clingfilm and place it in the fridge for half an hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C fan / 400°F / Gas 6 and line two baking trays with baking parchment or silicone mats.
  • Shaping: Roll the dough out to around 3mm (¼ inch) thick, on a work surface lightly dusted with icing sugar or roll the dough out between two pieces of greaseproof paper.
  • Cut out the biscuits using your desired shape. The dough is quite soft, so I recommend using a large knife to lift the cookies off the work surface onto your baking tray. Reroll the leftover dough until it has all been used up.
    If you are rolling it out between greaseproof paper, cut out your shapes leaving a 1 cm gap between each biscuit. Then remove the excess dough and place the greaseproof directly on your baking tray.
  • Optional: You can mix together some additional cinnamon and sugar to sprinkle over the top of the biscuits prior to baking.
  • Baking: Place the baking tray on the middle shelf and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool.
