Perfect (And Easy!) Shortbread

Ingredients:
cornstarch
sugars, powdered
wheat flour, white, all-purpose, unenriched
butter, without salt

Directions:
Sift together the cornstarch, icing (powdered) sugar and flour.
Blend in butter until a soft smooth dough forms.
Shape into 1" balls and chill 30 -60 minutes.
Place 1 1/2" apart on a cookie sheet and flatten slightly with a floured fork.
(omit if throwing sprinkles on, and/or don't like fork flattened shortbread - I don't and it still comes out just fine)
Bake 300' for 15-20 minutes.
Transfer to a rack and cool.
Watch that they don't brown, you want to pull them out while they still look a smidge underdone - the idea is that they do not brown on the bottom.
