CINNAMON SQUARES



Cinnamon Squares image

You could think of these cinnamon squares as the wintry brother of tangy, summery lemon bars, but what they really are is shortbread topped with a cinnamon-infused glaze, perfect with a cup of tea or a mug of coffee. And it is a reassuringly straightforward recipe. Make the crust and press it into a pan, bake it and let it cool. Drizzle a warm cinnamon glaze over it, cut and serve. Inhaling is wonderful; eating is even better.

Categories     cookies and bars, dessert

Time 45m

Yield 16 squares

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 pound (2 sticks) cold butter, cut into small cubes
6 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon cane syrup like Lyle's Golden Syrup (or substitute dark corn syrup)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Prepare base: heat oven to 325 degrees. In a food processor, combine confectioners' sugar, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Pulse until free of lumps. Scatter butter cubes across top and pulse again until mixture is crumbly and beginning to come together.
  • Press mixture evenly into a shallow 9- to 9 1/2-inch square baking pan. Bake until shortbread is firm, barely colored and no longer has a sheen on its surface, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a rack until warm.
  • While shortbread cools, prepare icing: In a small saucepan over low heat, melt butter and syrup together. Whisk in the confectioners' sugar and cinnamon until free of lumps. Remove from heat and allow to cool just until slightly thickened. Whisk again and pour over warm shortbread, using a spatula to reach edges. Allow to cool completely, then cut into 16 squares.

Tips:

  • Softened butter incorporates better into the dough, resulting in a more evenly textured cookie.
  • Chilling the dough before baking helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven, resulting in a thicker, chewier cookie.
  • Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best flavor. Semi-sweet chocolate chips are a good option for a classic chocolate flavor, while dark chocolate chips provide a more intense chocolate experience.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • For a crispier cookie, bake for a few extra minutes. For a softer cookie, bake for a minute or two less.

Conclusion:

These chocolate-cinnamon squares are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a hint of cinnamon. Whether you enjoy them as an afternoon snack or a dessert after dinner, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
