- Preheat the oven to 160 degrees C.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar and cinnamon. Cut or rub in the butter until the mixture is like fine crumbs.
- Pack the crumbs into a ball, then knead by hand until smooth.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out into an 20cm circle. Place the circle on a baking tray and slice into 16 wedges. Leave the circle intact.
- Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the centre has set. Cut the circle into wedges again while it is still warm and transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Made a yummy shortbread. I used fresh ground cinnamon. - 11 May 2009
These were great! I made 1 batch to see what they'd be like and about a half an hour later my Grandemother asked me to make more! My Grandma is notoriously picky so when she asked for more I knew they were a hit! Thanks! - 07 Nov 2007 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
