Rich and oh-so buttery Cinnamon Walnut Shortbread Cookies are the perfect addition to your holiday dessert table this year! Finlandia™ Premium Imported Butter takes these simple shortbread cookie recipe and elevates it to a new level!
I am CRAZY for shortbread. Not only are they flaky and buttery, but they do not require a lot ingredients or skill to make. Since shortbread cookies are made with so few ingredients, it's very important to make sure the ingredients you use are quality ingredients for the best taste and texture.
Start making these cookies by whipping together room temperature unsalted butter with sugar with an electric mixer.
Flour and salt are added and mixed until the dough comes together. Then, it's wrapped and chilled for 30 minutes. Next, it gets rolled out on a lightly floured surface and cut into shapes. (I used scalloped round cutters.) This dough was a pleasure to work with!
The tops of the unbaked cookies get a little egg white wash and then sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar, and chopped walnuts.
They are baked for about 15 minutes or until set and golden on the edges.
Flaky, buttery, melt-in-your-mouth cookies are what you get when you make these Cinnamon Walnut Shortbread Cookies!
Cinnamon Walnut Shortbread Cookies
Rich buttery shortbread cookies are topped with a sugar, cinnamon and walnut mixture and baked up crisp!
Ingredients
- 12 oz. unsalted Finlandia™ Imported Premium Butter, room temperature
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. kosher salt
- 1 egg white, beaten with 1 TBS water
- 1/4 cup finely chopped walnuts
- 2 TBS granulated sugar
- 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line cookie sheets with parchment or use a silicon baking liner.
- With electric mixer, combine unsalted Finlandia™ Imported Butter and 1 cup granulated sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add in flour and salt. Beat until dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
- Divide dough in half. On lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough to about 1/4" thickness. Use 3" cutters to cut into shapes. Place on prepared cookie sheet about 1" - 2" apart.
- In small bowl combine walnuts, 2 TBS granulated sugar, and cinnamon.
- Brush tops of cookies with a little egg white wash and then sprinkle with walnut mixture.
- Bake in oven for about 15 minutes, or until the cookies are set and the sides just start to brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool a few minutes on pan before removing to wire rack to cool completely. While cookies are baking, continue to roll out any scraps and remaining dough and repeating the process until all dough is used up.
- Store in airtight container. Baked cookies can be frozen.

Hi! I made these this weekend and they were great! However, I had a hard time with rolling out the dough (messy with the flour, dough sticking to the rolling pin, taking too long and the dough getting too warm, ugh!...my fault, not the recipe's) and wondered if instead it could just be rolled into a log and cut into slices?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
yes! You can absolutely make them that way!
