- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS:- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Whip butter with an electric mixer until fluffy (I use a standing mixer and let it whip for like 15 minutes). Stir in the confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and flour. Beat on low for one minute, then on high for 3 to 4 minutes. You can use a cookie press or drop by spoonfuls 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Watch that the edges don't brown too much.
I have to say again these Shortbread cookies are wonderful. I had to come back and find the recipe. I need to copy it down on a card when I get home. I also add some chopped pecans and they are great! |
