Shortbread Buttons

My Aunty Win in Canada gave me this recipe 23 years ago when I visited her for Christmas. I make this for Sarah every Christmas ... this is her own special cookie.

3/4 cup corn flour/starch

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup butter, softened

1. Mix corn flour, sugar and flour together.

2. Blend softened butter into the flour mixture until a soft smooth dough forms.

3. Shape dough into 1-inch balls. Place 1 1/2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork.

4. Bake at 300 degrees for 20 - 25 minutes or until edges are very lightly browned.

5. This recipe makes 3 dozen.

Note: If dough is too soft to handle, cover and chill in fridge for about an hour.
