Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Mix the chilled butter (I take it straight from the refrigerator, but not from the freezer) with the egg, adding a pinch of salt.
Step 2
Gently mix, add sugar, and rub the mixture until the sugar granules dissolve and a fluffy homogeneous mass is formed.
Step 3
Pour in the milk and mix well again.
Step 4
Gradually add the sifted flour. The dough should be quite stiff.
Step 5
Roll it into a ball and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 6
Then, line a board with parchment paper. Take out the dough and roll it out on the paper into a rectangle about 1 cm thick (not thinner!).
Step 7
Cut the dough into diamond shapes. Sprinkle sugar on top, then generously with cinnamon, and again a little sugar. Transfer the entire array of cookies on the parchment to a baking sheet.
Step 8
Preheat the oven to 390°F. Bake for 10–15 minutes, no longer, otherwise the dough will dry out. The finished cookies should be quite soft while hot. To be sure, check for doneness with a matchstick. Run a knife along the cut lines again and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet so they don't bend when transferring to a basket.
