For a richer flavor, use butter-flavored shortening. Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon and sugar to your preference. These cookies are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lightly spraying with cooking spray or lining with parchment paper. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut in 1/3 cup of shortening until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs with pea-sized pieces of shortening. (10 minutes)
03
StepCreate a well in the center of the flour mixture. Gradually add the warm water, a teaspoon at a time, mixing with a fork until a stiff dough begins to form. Incorporate each addition of water before adding more. Use your hands to bring the dough together into a ball, adding a touch more water if needed. (5 minutes)
04
StepOn a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle approximately 12x16 inches and 1/8-inch thick. (5 minutes)
05
StepEvenly spread 1 tablespoon of shortening over the entire surface of the dough using a spatula. Sprinkle generously with granulated sugar and then with ground cinnamon. (3 minutes)
06
StepStarting from one of the long edges, tightly roll the dough into a log. Using a sharp knife, slice the log into 3/4-inch thick rounds. (5 minutes)
07
StepArrange the cookie slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. (2 minutes)
08
StepBake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned and the bottoms are sizzling. (8-10 minutes)
09
StepTransfer the cookies to paper towels to cool completely. Enjoy immediately, or freeze for a later treat.
