Directions:
Beat butter until creamy (not oily).
Sift cornstarch, icing sugar, salt, and flour.
Add to butter.
Work in with a spoon.
Turn mixture out onto a floured board.
Knead until it cracks slightly.
Pat to 1/3" thickness and cut with cookie cutters.

Note: Grandma says the secret to getting the best texture is to sift the dry ingredients 4 times before adding them to the butter.
