Debbie's (ol'blue's) post on the Melt in Your Mouth Peanut Butter Cookies (which are absolutely scrumptious!) made me think of this recipe... these also melt in your mouth, and a single batch will not be enough!
Enjoy!
Terry
WHIPPED SHORTBREAD
1 cup soft butter (not margarine)
1/4 cup corn starch
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour.
Place butter in bowl. Sift in other ingredients. Mix well with electric beater at low speed until blended. Turn to high speed until dough resembles whipped cream. Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets. To make them festive looking for Christmas, top each cookie with a maraschino cherry (I cut them in half, and put a half on each). Bake at 325F for 20 minutes.

Confectioner's sugar, or powdered sugar. (Guess Americans call it something different than us Canadians do...)

Terry,
These cookies are just wonderful... They melt in your mouth. So easy to make. I would defiantly double the recipe, as they don't last long. I will be making these at Christmas.
I put on some red and green sprinkles on some of my cookies to show everyone here what they would look like at Christmas time. Thanks for sharing your recipe.

Glad you like them, Debbie, and thanks for posting a picture! They look yummy, and now I'm a-thinking it's time to go upstairs and do some baking again... LOL!
