Butter biscuits with a hint of cinnamon are delicious at any time, but I think they’re at their best still warm from the oven. Just make sure they’ve cooled enough to not be too soft.

Ingredients

  • 250g unsalted butter, softened

  • 200g soft brown sugar, packed

  • 150g sugar

  • 1 egg

  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

  • 350g plain flour

  • 2 tsp baking soda

  • 2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1 tbsp flake salt

Method

  1. Step 1

    Combine the butter and sugars in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat for 5 minutes until pale and fluffy.

  2. Step 2

    Lightly beat the egg and vanilla together, then add a little at a time to the butter mixture, beating until combined. Sift in the flour, baking soda and cinnamon and mix on low speed until combined.

  3. Step 3

    Heat oven to 180C fan-forced (200C conventional). Place a piece of baking paper on a baking tray (or two). Place 12 balls of dough on the tray then gently press the salt into the top of each ball.

  4. Step 4

    Bake for 12 minutes until just starting to brown around the edges. Remove from the oven, allow to cool for 5 minutes then serve.

Adam’s tip: If you want to make your dessert biscuit a little more substantial, put a scoop of ice-cream between two of them for a decadent ice-cream sandwich.
