How to Make Cinnamon Shortbread Bars
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 13x9 inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground cinnamon, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and optional nuts for the topping.
- Sprinkle the topping evenly over the shortbread dough.
- Prick the top of the dough all over with a fork.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until the shortbread is light golden brown and the topping is crisp.
- Let cool completely in the pan before cutting into squares. Enjoy!
