Ingredients:
8oz butter
8oz white flour
4oz cornstarch
4oz powdered sugar
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cream the butter and powdered sugar together until pale and smooth. Add the flour and cornstarch and mix until a dough is formed.
Roll out the dough to approximately 1 cm. thickness and cut out the cookies with a shaped cutter. Place on a baking sheet and poke the tops with a fork.
Bake for 45 minutes or until they begin to look golden, keep a watchful eye on the baking process as cooking times may vary. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool before taking them off the baking sheet.
