1 c Butter
3/4 c Icing sugar
2 c All-purpose flour
1 ts Cornstarch
1 pn Baking powder
1 pn Salt
In a mixing bowl, cream butter and icing sugar until
light and fluffy. Stir in flour, cornstarch, baking
powder and salt until very smooth. Form into a firm
ball. Place on lightly floured surface. Lightly knead
five or six times. Form level teaspoonfuls into small
balls. Place two inches apart on unbuttered baking
sheet. With fingertips or fork, gently press each ball
to slightly flatten it. If desired, place a cherry
piece in the centre of each. Bake in oven at 325
degrees F for about 15 minutes or until edges are
slightly golden and firm to the touch. Cool. Makes
five to six dozen. From The Gazette, 90/12/12
