Ingredients

Dough:

2 ¾ cups freshly milled soft white wheat flour finely milled (259 grams)
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¾ cup cold butter 173 grams
2 teaspoons vanilla
2-3 tablespoons cold water

Coating:

3 tablespoons melted butter
⅓ cup sugar or coconut sugar 52 grams
1 tablespoon cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a food processor, add the flour, salt, cinnamon, and butter. Pulse until the butter turns into pea-sized crumbs.
Add the vanilla, then slowly add the water 1 tablespoon at a time, while blending, just until the dough forms.
Divide the dough in half and roll one half out on a lightly floured surface about as thin as you can get it.
Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush with the melted butter, then combine the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over top. Reserve half for the remaining dough. Use your hands to press the sugar into the dough.
Cut the dough into small squares, then break apart so they’re not touching.
Bake for 12-14 minutes, until golden brown.
Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
