Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone! I had plans to make a unique dessert to celebrate, however after having four sick kids at home this week, my plans had to change. I needed to make something that didn’t require a lot of time and this recipe definitely doesn’t. These cookies taste like shortbread and snicker doodles rolled into one! They melt in your mouth and taste delicious. I look forward to making these a lot more!
1/2 C powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 C butter (no substitutes), softened
1/2 C powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt
1 1/2 C flour
1 Tbsp. granulated sugar
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix together the powdered sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
Cream together the butter, powdered sugar and vanilla.
Add the cinnamon, salt and flour. Mix until incorporated.
Take a spoonful of dough and roll it into a ball.
Roll into the powdered sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Place onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake for 16-18 minutes; until golden brown around the edges.
I had some leftover powdered sugar mixture (and I hate to waste) so I stirred in a tablespoon of granulated sugar and rolled the warm cookies into it.
Take a bite and enjoy!
I like snicker doodles a lot but I love shortbread cookies. I printed these and will make them soon. I made shortbread cookies for the first time this year. It called for Almond extract. A friend had sent me some from the USA. I enjoyed them my kids didn't.
Oh yummy! thanks for linking up a great recipe to Southern Sundays!
Featured recipes will be announced next sunday. Make sure to come back with more excellent dishes!
Oh, I adore these cookies! I make mine without cinnamon but need to try your version, too 🙂
Wow! My aunt always made those at Christmas time and I haven't had any for years. I have her recipe but haven't made them myself for many, many years. Now that's all I'm going to want!
I love polvorones, I've made them before. Thank you for your step by step recipe, as I will try it they sure look terrific! VIVA 5 de Mayo!
