MINI SHORTBREAD COOKIES
These are tiny, melt-in-your-mouth shortbread cookies that my daughter and I make every Christmas, and sometimes on Valentines day with red cherries and a heart shaped cookie cutter. As far as I can tell they are no-fail. I originally found the recipe on the back of a cornstarch box, but we make them differently than the instructions with a different yield.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
- Sift the corn starch, icing sugar and flour.
- Blend in the butter until dough is completely smooth (I usually just use my hands to do this).
- Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4" thick.
- Cut cookies using a 1" round or heart shaped cookie cutter (these cookies turn out much better small).
- Reform the leftover pieces of cookie dough to roll and make more cookies.
- Place cookies on a shiny cookie pan (preferably one of the insulated types).
- Top cookies with either 1/4 or 1/2 of a cherry (these are tiny cookies and depending on cherry size do just fine with 1/4 of a cherry) OR a chocolate chip.
- Bake at 300 degrees F for 17-18 minutes.
- These cookies do not turn noticibly brown.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place chocolate eggs into a resealable plastic bag; seal the bag. Mash chocolate eggs with a heavy measuring cup a few times. You don't want them pulverized, just cracked into small-to-medium-sized pieces.
- Combine flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add butter. Beat using an electric mixer until you get a workable dough. Add the crushed chocolate eggs and mix until well combined.
- Roll dough into ping pong-sized balls. Flatten balls slightly and lay onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the very edges of the cookies start to brown, about 22 minutes.

Tips:
- Use high-quality butter for the best flavor and texture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to create a smooth, even dough.
- Add the dry ingredients slowly to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking. This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies until they are just beginning to brown around the edges.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
