Mini Shortbread Cookies image

These are tiny, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies that my daughter and I make every Christmas, and sometimes on Valentines day with red cherries and a heart shaped cookie cutter. As far as I can tell they are no-fail. I originally found the recipe on the back of a cornstarch box, but we make them differently than the instructions with a different yield.

Time 32m

Yield 50 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup icing sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup butter, softened (NO SUBSTITUTE)
green cherries or chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
  • Sift the corn starch, icing sugar and flour.
  • Blend in the butter until dough is completely smooth (I usually just use my hands to do this).
  • Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4" thick.
  • Cut cookies using a 1" round or heart shaped cookie cutter (these cookies turn out much better small).
  • Reform the leftover pieces of cookie dough to roll and make more cookies.
  • Place cookies on a shiny cookie pan (preferably one of the insulated types).
  • Top cookies with either 1/4 or 1/2 of a cherry (these are tiny cookies and depending on cherry size do just fine with 1/4 of a cherry) OR a chocolate chip.
  • Bake at 300 degrees F for 17-18 minutes.
  • These cookies do not turn noticibly brown.
