    Shortbread Cookies With Cinnamon and Cloves

    These Cinnamon Shortbread Cookie Wedges are kicked up a notch by adding a hint of ground cloves. A shortbread cookie has a crumbly texture. But don't let this frighten you as it is not dry on the palate. I always like to have a cup of tea when consuming these.

    These cinnamon and clove cookies are baked in a round baking dish and cut into wedges resulting in that telltale shortbread shape.

    Tips for making the Cinnamon Shortbread Cookie Wedges:

    Ingredients:

    As with most shortbread cookies, this recipe contains no eggs. Just a few simple ingredients are needed to create the treats:

    • Granulated Sugar
    • Unsalted Butter: soften the butter before starting the cookie dough
    • All Purpose Flour: a gluten-free flour replacement may be used
    • Salt, ground cinnamon and ground cloves

    How to Create the Shortbread Triangles:

    To create the classic shortbread wedges:

    • Lightly butter a 9" pie plate or 8" cake pan.
    • Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit in the bottom of the pan.
    • After mixing the dough, pour into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. This dough is crumbly but it will come together.
    • Using your palms, a dough tamper or a flat-bottomed drinking glass, press lightly on the dough so it is evenly distributed on the bottom of the pan
    • Using a sharp knife, score the top of the dough lightly by making 4 lines running across the diameter of the pan (resulting in 8 wedges). Mark the lines by puncturing with a dinner fork. Next, mark impressions on the outermost edge with the fork.
    • After baking, place the pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Carefully turn the pan upside down and release the shortbread cookie disk. Flip the disk over and, using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut through the scored lines you created before baking. Place wedges on a rack and allow to cool completely before serving.

    FAQs

    How to store shortbread cookies?

    These cookies are best left at room temperature and stored in a airtight container. To freeze, simply wrap in plastic and freeze for up to 2 months.

    I hope you enjoy these Cinnamon and Clove Shortbread Cookies as much as my family and friends do!

    Equipment

    • Hand Mixer or
    • Stand Mixer
    • Cake Pan (8") or Pie Plate (9")

    Ingredients
      

    • 66 Grams Granulated Sugar (⅓ Cup)
    • 107 Grams Unsalted Butter (room temperature) (1 Stick / 4 Ounces)
    • 145 Grams All Purpose Flour (1 Cup plus 1 Tbsp)
    • ½ teaspoon Salt
    • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves

    Instructions
     

    • Preheat oven to 350°
    • Prepare an 8" round cake pan (or 9" pie plate) by lightly applying butter. Cut a circle of parchment paper to fit in the bottom of the pan.
    • Combine all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, ground cloves and salt in a bowl.
    • Place sugar and butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (a hand mixer may also be used).
    • Begin creaming the sugar and butter together on medium speed. Continue to mix until the butter and sugar are light and fluffy (2 - 4 minutes), scraping the side and bottom of the bowl as needed.
    • Add flour/cinnamon/clove/salt to the mixing bowl and mix on low speed until just incorporated. The mixture will look crumbly but should hold together when squeezed with your hand.
    • Pour all of the dough into the prepared pan. Using your palms, a dough tamper or a flat-bottomed drinking glass, press lightly on the dough so it is evenly distributed on the bottom of the pan.
    • Using a sharp knife, score the top of the dough lightly by making 4 lines running across the diameter of the pan (resulting in 8 wedges).
    • Using a dinner fork, mark impressions in the dough on the outermost edge.
    • Bake 22 - 25 minutes. The top will be a light brown and the edges a bit darker.
    • Allow the pan to cool for 10 minutes on a rack. Carefully turn the pan upside down and release the cookie disk.
    • Flip the cookie disk over and, using a sharp knife or bench scraper, cut through the scored lines you created before baking. Place wedges on a rack and allow to cool completely before serving.

      Great recipe! I didn't use cloves because I didn't have any. They are still yummy with just the cinnamon.
