1 c Butter 1 ts Cornstarch
3/4 c Icing sugar 1 pn Baking powder
2 c All-purpose flour 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.
