    Mom's Fluffy Shortbread


    Source of Recipe


    Mom Dorothy Komoski

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups Butter (1 pound)
    I cup Icing Sugar
    1 cup Corn Starch
    2 cups White Flour + 1 TBSP
    1 tsp Vanilla
    1/2 tsp salt

    Decorating:
    Red/ Green glaced cherries 1/4s
    Coloured sugars
    Festive sprinkles

    Recipe



    Set oven to 325°
    Cream butter, sugar, and corn starch. Using a mixer, cream for about 5 minutes. Slowly add the flour and mix for 3-5 minutes.
    Chill in fridge for 30 minutes.
    Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
    Using a small spoon, scoop some dough about the size of a walnut, (3/4"). Roll into a ball and place on parchment paper. Leave lots of room.
    On a large cookie sheet, you should get 4 rows of 5 cookies.
    Slightly press down the dough,(gently),with a fork or your fingers. Decorate with a small piece of cherry or a light sprinkle of festive sprinkles or sugars.

    Bake at 325° for 12-14 minutes. Watch closely. 13 minute works great for our oven.
    Cool on a baking rack for 20 minutes. Remove from pan when cool to the touch.

    NOTE:
    Mom always baked 1 cookie, by itself, to begin baking. You could see if there was enough flour. If that cookie spreads too much, add 1 TBSP of flour.
