BROWN SUGAR AND OATMEAL SHORTBREAD

Steps:

• Position a rack in middle of oven and preheat oven to 350°F.
• Prepare 9x9x2-inch square or 11x7x2-inch baking tray by lining with parchment or greasing with butter.
• Sift flour, cornstarch, salt and cinnamon together onto wax paper or medium bowl; set aside.
• Beat butter and brown sugar together in a large bowl, until smooth and fluffy.
• Using low speed (if using electric mixer), mix in flour mixture, until dough comes together in big clumps.
• Add in oatmeal, mixing just to distribute evenly.
• Press dough evenly into prepared tray.
• Bake for 25 mins, until top is light-brown.
• Remove from oven and immediately cut shortbread into squares (6 rows lengthwise, 4 rows across), cutting through to the bottom.
• Cool thoroughly in the pan and remove shortbread from pan using a spatula.
• The shortbread will become crisp on the outside as it cool, but remain slightly soft inside.
• Store cooled shortbread in an airtight contained for up to 4 days or freeze.
