directions
- With and Electric mixer, beat butter & Icing sugar until it stands up like egg whites.
- In a seperate medium bowl, combine flour and corn starch. Add slowly to butter and icing sugar mixture. (I find when your mixer starts to power out, then use a wooden spoon to take over, but please try to use the mixer as long as possible).
- Drop from teaspoon onto cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. Top cookies with jub-jubs, bar cherries, or anything really. My oldest son loves smarties on his. Imagination is up to you.
- Bake at 300 for approx 30 minutes until bottom edges turn a light brown.
- (Because all ovens vary please start checking them at about 20-25 minutes).

I made these this evening cause I had absurd amounts of butter in my freezer. I also wanted to try something other than my own shortbread,, these are now a new favorite and next year for sure will be added to my baking tray. I find that alot of whipped shortbread recipes you need a cookie press which I don't own, bhtese were easy to maek and absolutely fantastic, my boyfriend who hates shortbread even liked them(he won't even eat mine). Thanks for posting, definate keeper. Leanne

Thank you so very much for posting this recipe. It is "The Best"! My mother made these same shortbread cookies each and every year and everyone loved them. Often she would hide them in cookie tins lined with waxed paper in a cool cupboard. That way these mouthwatering cookies would be available for company,LOL My mom passed away in 2004 at the age of 90 and I don't know what happend to her many recipes. Thanks again for sharing. Fondly, Lor

I am a busy Mom of 2 boys (8yr & 5yr old). I love to bake. Love to be outside in the non-winter months. Unless of course we are in the mountains (Lake Louise is my favourite place). I am also new to the gardening world, but also really enjoying it.
