Uncle Doug's Shortbread

My Uncle made the best shortbread in the UNIVERSE.

I apologize to everyone that has ever given me shortbread;
Yours was scrumptious….

But Uncle Doug's is/was the BEST.

He passed away a couple of years ago, but I've had his recipe for years.

I just liked it better when he made it.

Now it's my turn to carry the torch and make the cookies that we so look forward to each Christmas - 

which will now and forever be named:

Uncle Doug's Shortbread.

You will need:

• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 3/4 cup icing sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 1 cup butter

Directions:
Preheat oven to 275 degrees (farenheit)

Sift all dry ingredients together.

Cream in butter.

  Roll into balls and then flatten with a fork.
(I dip the fork in icing sugar before flattening)

Refrigerate dough balls until thoroughly chilled.

Bake for approximately 20 - 25 minutes, or until edges are slightly browned.

Makes ~2 dozen cookies.

Try them out and tell me if I'm wrong.

If I'm right - that they are the best in the universe - send a Christmas prayer to my Uncle Doug.

Have a great one!
