Shortbread Cookies

I started making these cookies when I was 18 years old.  I had just moved into my first apartment, and was trying to impress my boyfriend (ultimately I think I was trying to prove to myself that I could cook - and not starve to death).
These cookies have been a favorite for years!!
They are firm, but melt in your mouth.  I hate a crumbly cookie.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/2 cup icing sugar
• 1 cup flour
• 3/4 cup soft butter
  
  Mix all ingredient together until moist.  You will need to shape into small balls (squeeze and roll in palm of hand).  Place on cookie sheet and press with spoon or fork.  Decorate as you like.  (I always use the colourful hard sprinkly ball things.) **What do you call those?  heheehee

Bake at 300 Degrees for 15 to 20 mins.

Makes about 2 dozen cookies.
