List of Ingredients




3 C. all-purpose flour
1/2 C. powdered sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
3/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/2 tsp. salt (opt)
1 C. butter, softened

Recipe



Preheat oven to 350*.

Combine sugar, spices and salt evenly. Separate into 2 equal portions, reserving one.

On a clean surface, mix gently by hand, one half of the spicemix into the flour. Squeeze butter in hands, and bit by bit add to the spiced flour by working it into butter on the board. Take time to thoroughly integrate dry and butter mixture.


Press batter into 8" square, shallow pan. Score the surface to make fingers (2"x1") of shortbread. Prick each finger several times, shallowly. With the reserved spice mixture, evenly strew all cuts. Bake one hour or less until firm and yellow, not brown.

Cool in pan; break and serve.
