Cinnamon Pine Nut Shortbread
2 hours 25 minutes
I love cinnamon in almost anything, and tried working it into a biscuit recipe. This is what I came up with. Pine nuts are lightly toasted and make an interesting addition to these shortbread biscuits, which have a lovely cinnamon aroma.

- Mix together the flour, icing sugar, salt and cinnamon. Tip in the cubed butter and rub together until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add the egg yolk and combine until a solid ball of dough is formed.
- Work in the chopped pine nuts. Roll dough into a log, approximately 3cm in diameter and 25cm long. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours, or up to 5 days if making ahead.
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Once dough is chilled and solid, remove plastic wrap. Slice into 5mm rounds and place on baking tray. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a light golden colour. Cool and store in an airtight container.
