1/2 c. cornstarch
1/2 c. icing sugar
1 1/2 c. sifted all-purpose flour
1 c. butter

Sift together cornstarch, icing sugar and flour into a bowl. Have butter at room temperature. Blend butter into dry ingredients with a spoon until a soft dough is formed.

Shape into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place on ungreased baking sheet about 1 1/2 inches apart. Flatten cookie dough with lightly floured fork. Bake in a slow oven (300 degrees) 20-25 minutes or until edges of cookies are lightly browned. Yield 3 or 4 dozen.

NOTE: IF dough is very soft, cover and chill for about 1/2 hour. I always use butter in this recipe.
