Directions:
- Sift together corn starch, icing sugar and flour. With wooden spoon, blend in the butter until soft, smooth dough forms. Shape into 1 inch {2.5 cm} balls. If dough is too soft to handle, cover and chill for 30 - 60 minutes {my aunt always chilled her dough no matter what}. Place 1 1/2 inches {4cm} apart on ungreased cookie sheet, flatten with lightly floured fork.Alternatively, roll dough to 1/4 inch {6cm}, cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Decorate with candied cherries, coloured sprinkles or nuts if desired.
- Bake in 300 F {150C} oven for 15 - 20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned. Cool on wire rack.
- Crescents: Add 1/2 cup {125ml} of ground almonds or hazelnuts to flour mixture. Shape into logs about 1/2 inch {1cm} thick and 3 inches {7cm} long Twist into crescent shapes. When baked and cool, dip ends into melted chocolate.
