Christmas Cookie Exchange Option 4: Shortbread Cookies

Short bread cookies are definitely a MUST at Christmas time and a great selection for your cookie exchange coming up. I opt to use colored sprinkles instead maraschino cherries but you do you.

Ingredients

• 1 Cup Margarine, softened

• 1 Cup Flour

• 1/2 Cup Icing Sugar

• 1/2 Cup Corn Starch

• 1/4 Tsp. Salt

• Green & Red Sprinkles (optional)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 325F degrees. Beat margarine until light and fluffy, add icing sugar while beating.

• Add the corn starch and continue beating. Add the flour and salt slowly and beat well. Roll into 1-2 inch balls and place on a baking sheet, leaving enough room between each. Press down lightly in the center of each with a fork and then lightly sprinkle the colored sprinkles on top.

• Bake for 8-10 minutes, remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.
