Critical Success Points

  • Prepare cinnamon infusion to flavor the dough
  • Rub shortening into flour to achieve a crumbly texture
  • Add liquid gradually to form a smooth, non‑sticky dough
  • Roll dough to a uniform 3 mm thickness
  • Bake at 180 °C for exactly 12–14 minutes
  • Coat cookies while still warm for optimal adhesion

Safety Warnings

  • Hot water and boiling cinnamon infusion can cause burns; handle with care.
  • Oven and baking sheet become extremely hot; use oven mitts.
  • Shortening can be slippery; keep a clean workspace to avoid slips.
