How to Make Brown Sugar And Oatmeal Shortbread

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position a rack in the middle of the oven.
  2. Grease a 9x9x2-inch square baking pan or an 11x7x2-inch baking tray with butter or line it with parchment paper.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup cornstarch, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough just comes together in clumps.
  6. Stir in 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats until evenly distributed.
  7. Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
  9. Remove from oven and immediately cut the shortbread into squares, cutting all the way through to the bottom of the pan.
  10. Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out the shortbread squares using a spatula.
  11. Store cooled shortbread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
