Grandma's Shortbread Cookies

By MelanieN

Buttery and very smooth texture to these cookies!

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1 1/2 cups flour
• Green and red glazed cherries, quartered

Preparation

Step 1

Cream butter and sifted icing sugar together.
Sift flour and cornstarch together and slowly add to butter and sugar mixture.
Beat with beaters until well blended.

Take a fairly level tablespoon full of cookie dough and roll into ball. Place rolled balls on cookie sheet. Gently flatten with a fork. Put a quarter of a glazed cherry on top of each cookie.

Bake for 20 minutes at 300 degrees. Bottoms should be just barely brown but sides of cookie should not be brown at all.
