Recipe taken from my Cookies and Bars cookbook. Haven't tried them yet, but they are on my holiday cookie list. Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (plus extra for greasing pan) |
1/4 cup superfine sugar |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 cup cornstarch |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, to decorate (sifted) |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease 2 cookie sheets. Place the butter and superfine sugar in a bowl and beat until light and fluffy. Sift the flour, cornstarch, and cinnamon into a separate bowl, then gradually work dry ingredients into creamed mixture with a wooden spoon. When well mixed, knead until smooth.
2. Take 1 teaspoons at a time of the mixture and roll into a ball. place the balls on the prepared cookie sheets. Bake in a preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until pale golden.
3. Place the confectioners' sugar in a shallow dish and toss the pastelitos in it while they are still warm. Let cool on cooling racks.
