Ingredients
- 2 1/3 cups all-purpose flour*
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (Vietnamese preferred)
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, very soft
- 1 1/2 cups Imperial Sugar Extra Fine Granulated Sugar
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- 2/3 cup chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts
- Imperial Sugar Confectioners Powdered Sugar, optional
*Spoon & Sweep method: Use a spoon to fill measuring cup with flour until required amount is obtained. Scooping measuring cup directly into flour bag will firmly pack flour resulting in too much flour required for recipe.
