Valentine's Day Shortbread


Again from my sister S., the Queen of iced shortbread, we bring you the Valentine's Day version. Eat your heart out Martha Stewart, the Realm of Cookie Decorating has a new ruler.

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.
