Directions:
- Cream sugar and butter together, using wooden spoon. (add the rum essence here if you are going to use it.)
- Sift flour and cornflour together and add to creamed mixture. Mix well (at this point we put the spoon down and use clean hands to mix.)
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll dough into pecan sized balls and place on baking sheet. place in fridge for about 20 min., for small cookies.
- Bake at 325 for 25 minutes. They should be pale brown, if not return to oven for 5 to 10 more minutes, but watch close!
- Sprinkle with sugar as soon as you take them out of the oven.
- Transfer cookies to cooling rack. Store in an air tight container.
- For a large shortbread round, we use a round baking stone. Transfer dough to the round and press out to about 1/4 to 1/8 inch thick. Bake same as for cookies.
