I've never tasted a more smoother, velvety shortbread cookie, but then again I'm biased! These are the ones I grew up with at every family Christmas, courtesy of my Grandma. Enjoy! Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1/2 cup cornstarch |
1/2 cup icing sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups sifted flour |
Directions:
1. Beat butter until creamy (not oily).
2. Sift cornstarch, icing sugar, salt, and flour.
3. Add to butter.
4. Work in with a spoon.
5. Turn mixture out onto a floured board.
6. Knead until it cracks slightly.
7. Pat to 1/3 thickness and cut with cookie cutters.
8. Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
9. Yield 100 small cookies.
10. Note: Grandma says the secret to getting the best texture is to sift the dry ingredients 4 times before adding them to the butter.
