As you know, my sister S. is the Queen of Shortbread (see posts dated Oct. 14th and Dec.16th'09). She made the cookies that you see an example of in this photo for a baby shower, and they 'went like hotcakes'. Speaking of hotcakes, I just heard that iced cupcakes have been displaced by designer doughnuts as the new "it " food.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound salted butter (softened to room temperature)
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 3 cups flour
Mix butter and sugars together, then stir in cornstarch and flour until well mixed. Roll dough into 4 logs and chill about an hour. Cut logs into 1 cm slices. I usually get 4 dozen cookies from this recipe. Bake cookies on parchment lined baking sheets, at 350, until just slightly golden on bottom edges, about 12-15 minutes. Cool and ice.
