If my mom catered a shower you could almost ALWAYS count on these shortbread cookies with lemon icing being on the table. However, I did learn (the HARD way, DO NOT use cheap butter....disaster).

Melting Moments:

2/3 cup cornstarch

1 cup flour

1 cup butter

1/3 cup powdered sugar

Mix all ingredients and form into balls. Put on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with a fork.  Bake 15 minutes at 325.

 

Icing:

1/3 cup butter

3 teaspoons lemon juice

3/4 box powdered sugar

Makes apporximately 30-40 cookies.
