Christmas Ornament Cookies
1 3/4 cups flour
1/4 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon baking powder
2/2 cup butter, softened 1 cup granulated sugar 1 large egg
3/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Mix in a bowl the flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Cream in a separate bowl the butter, sugar,
egg and vanilla extract. Stir flour mixture into the remaining creamed ingredients gradually, until
blended. Cover and chill 15 minutes or longer. Roll dough on floured surface to 1/8-inch thickness
and cut with Christmas-shape cookie cutters. Place on greased cookie sheets and decorate with
sprinkles (or icing could be used, after baking). Pierce a small hole through each cookie, toward
the top center portion (use a barbecue skewer). Bake at 350 degrees F for 8 minutes. Cookies are
still pale-colored when finished, not browned. Cool on a cookie sheet. Store in an airtight tin for
2 to 3 weeks. Use yarn or wire ornament hangers to hang cookies on your Christmas tree. They are
best if eaten and replenished daily.
