I’m going to warn you…these cookies are so addictive. I’m not even exaggerating when I say that I think that these are the best cookies ever. My MIL made some one year and filled a cookie jar for the annual Christmas gift exchange. We all fought over it – kids and grownups alike, stealing the precious jar in lieu of grabbing a new present.
These were so good that I had even asked her to make some for our wedding gift bags. 800 glorious cookies. I’m pretty certain that those bags got opened right away and the contents eaten before anyone even got home. AND, i kid you not – people are still talking about the cookies. Make these…and make lots!
Ingredients:
1 pound of butter (she uses salted)
1/2 cup corn starch
1 cup icing sugar
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat on high for 5 minutes or until dough is fluffy.
3. Pipe into desired shape.
4. Bake 12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden brown.

Thanks for the great idea. I think I could adapt these to be dairy free by using Earth Balance instead of the butter…very tempting recipe as I LOVE Shortbread! Susan H @ The Food Allergy Chronicles
