Shortbread

This is also a Rose special.  And though this is fabulous shortbread ... I might also add some chocolate to dip the shortbread in when it's all done ... because chocolate makes everything better right?

1 lb salted butter (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
3/4 cup corn starch (or rice flour)
3 cups flour

Cream butter and sugar for a few minutes and then add cornstarch.  Then add the flour.  This will be a dry dough.  Form into a ball with a fork and cut into thirds.  Rose likes to make them into pie shapes and cut wedges.  You could put them in a rectangular dish as well if you prefer and cut squares.

Put out on cookie sheet and keep edges as high as the middle.  Using a fork poke some holes in the top and put in the fridge for 1/2 hour.

Bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes.  Do not let brown and cut when they are warm so they don't crack when cut.
