Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ cup cold water
• ¼ cup granulated sugar (for coating)
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for coating)

Directions

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon.
2. Add the chilled and cubed butter to the flour mixture. Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
3. Gradually add the cold water to the flour and butter mixture. Mix until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
4. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap the discs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6. In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon for coating.
7. Remove one disc of dough from the refrigerator. Roll it out on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
8. Using a pig-shaped cookie cutter, cut out pig shapes from the dough.
9. Place the pig-shaped cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
10. Sprinkle the cookies with the sugar and cinnamon coating mixture.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
12. Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. Repeat the rolling, cutting, sprinkling, and baking process with the remaining disc of dough.
14. Once all the cookies have cooled, store them in an airtight container.
