These are the Melt in your Mouth type of shortbread cookies that you can't have just one! Whenever I make these for the Christmas holidays, I need to make extras, protect them while they cool and hide them once they are packaged so that the family doesn't consume them all before the Christmas gathering!
Ingredients:
1 cup softened butter
1 cup flour
1/2 cup icing sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch
Directions:
1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 325°F.
2. Mix all ingredients with mixer. Chill in refrigerator for 1/2 hour. Roll 1 tsp at a time into balls and place onto cookie sheet. Press thumb into ball to 1/2 way point. Place cookies sheet in oven on high rack and bake at 325°F for 12 - 15 minutes or until golden on the bottom.
3. Option - once you have pressed the tsp size balls, freeze on a cookie sheet and place them an airtight bag. Freeze until needed. Let sit on cookie sheet at room temperature for 20 minutes before cooking.
