NOM NOM: Melt in your mouth Shortbread Cookies


With Christmas around the corner, I figured I would make sure my recipe for shortbread cookies still worked...yeah..that's it..lol. Anyways, below is the BEST and EASIEST recipe for shortbread cookies. With just 4 ingredients and at total bake time of 15 minutes, these treats are hard to beat! From the "Canadian Cornstarch" box.

SHORTBREAD COOKIES:

- 1 Cup Flour
- 1/2 Cup Cornstarch
- 1/2 Cup Icing Sugar
- 3/4 Cup Butter, Softened

How To:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, and icing sugar.
2. With freshly washed hands, knead butter into dry mix, working slowly so you wont get covered in powder. Dough is ready when it looks crumbly.
3. Gently roll a quarter size ball and place onto cookie sheet. Dip the bottom of a small glass in milk, and press down onto ball. If you want, try rolling out the dough onto a floured surface and cut with a cookie cutter.
4. Bake for 15 minutes, checking after 12. When the edges are golden brown, remove and let cool.

TIPS: Try melting your favorite chocolate and dip the cookies in. Let cool on parchment. You can also try drizzling chocolate for a funky design.

Makes about 25 rolled cookies.
