Nona’s Shortbread Cookies 

2 cups d’Or Gold softened butter

½ cornstarch

1 cup icing sugar

3 cups enriched Co-op all-purpose flour

 ¼ tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 350°F and line cookie sheets with parchment paper.

In a large bowl beat the butter with an electric mixer until very light and fluffy. Add the cornstarch and beat until well combined then add the icing sugar ½ cup at a time beating after each addition. Add the salt and flour 1 cup at a time until well incorporated and fluffy.

At this point you can add some chocolate chips to the dough if desired. They can be rolled into 1- inch balls or piped onto the cookie sheets creating a whirl design and then decorated with candied cherries or sprinkles to make then festive.

Bake for 10 minutes.
