This cooking group will meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month. It is a place to meet as friends, get new recipes and maybe even learn some new cooking skills.
Melt in Your Mouth Shortbread
3 1/4 cups flour
1/2 Cup corn starch
1 cup powdered sugar
1 pound butter
1/2 teaspoon almond flavoring
Beat together powdered sugar and butter until creamy and light. Mix in flavoring. Sift flour and cornstarch together. Slowly add flour mixture to creamed sugar and butter. Drop onto a cookie sheet. These are also excellent for a cookie press. Bake at 325 Degrees for 10 to 12 minutes, until cookies are just starting to get pale brown at the edge. Let cookies rest for another two minutes after removing from the oven then place on racks to cool completely.
to fancy up these cookies you can put sprinkles or finely chopped nuts on them before they are baked. You can drizzle or dip in melted chocolate after they are baked. You can also add food coloring to batter if you want colored cookies.
note: because this dough is whipped and contains lots of butter, handle with utensils, not hands, or the dough gets thick and gluey.
