Another fantastic recipe I grew up with. These cookies are a nice change from the traditional shortbread cookies at Christmas and they're a lot easier to make. Always a hit with everyone I know Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1 cup flour |
1/2 cup cornstarch |
1/2 cup powdered sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300°F.
2. Beat butter with mixer until light and fluffy.
3. Sift dry ingredients together.
4. Add dry ingredients to whipped butter a little at a time.
5. Add vanilla last and beat well.
6. Drop dough by teaspoonful onto parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake 30-40 minutes until just turning light golden brown.
7. Cookies will be delicate.
8. Pack or freeze carefully.
9. For a different look add a candied cherry half to the center of each cookie before baking.
