Found this many years ago. Delicious, melt-in-your-mouth greatness. DEFINITELY NOT for the dieter.

1/2 lb. soft butter

Cream well.

1 c. all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom

Sift together.

1/2 c. confectioners' sugar
1/2 c. cornstarch

Add to above ingredients. Cream well.

Divide into 2 equal portions; wrap each in foil. Store in refrigerator at least 8 hour but no longer than overnight.

Remove one portion from refrigerator; shape into balls about size of large marble. Place balls on ungreased cookie sheets 2 inches apart; flatten with floured tines of fork or floured cookie molds. Bake at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes until delicately browned.
