2 c. unsalted butter, softened
4 c. all-purpose flour
1 1/4 c. confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. salt

In a large mixing bowl, cut butter into flour with 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. With your hands or a rubber spatula, work in confectioners' sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt until well mixed.

Pinch off dough and pat into lightly oiled heart-shaped, cast-iron molds or other small baking molds. Bake in a preheated 325 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until golden. Let cool in molds for 20 minutes, then turn out onto racks to finish cooling. Store in airtight containers. Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
