    | 1. Sift together the cornstarch, icing (powdered) sugar and flour. | 2. Blend in butter until a soft smooth dough forms. | 3. Shape into 1" balls and chill 30 -60 minutes. | 4. 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) | 5. 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. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
