Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Cream butter and sugar together untill mixed very well.
Mix flour into butter/sugar blend.
Mix in cinnamon,baking soda, and salt.
Mix in vanilla extract and egg.
Mix into a well incorporated dough (I used my hands to mix and knead the dough to ensure it was well mixed).
Roll dough a quarter inch flat in between two sheets of parchment paper (it's cleaner then a floured surface and still non stick) and removed top sheet and cut with cookie cutters.
Place cookies on sheet pan lined with parchment paper and sprinkle with cane sugar to your liking and bake for ten minutes....enjoy after cooling.

So, I went ahead and made these shortbread cookie bars, because everybody needs a fail proof shortbread cookie recipe and, let's face it, bars are easier than cookies. I sprinkled these bars with a mixture of cinnamon and sugar, just to liven them up a bit. These were seriously the best shortbread cookies I've ever eaten. Add the cinnamon and beat to combine. Add the flour and salt, and mix on low speed until the dough just comes together, being careful not to overmix.
