This is my favorite Christmas cookie! They have such a yummy/unique texture, and the cream cheese frosting finishes them off perfectly. These are the reason my cupboard is most often overflowing with a questionable amount of cornstarch. I like to eat them best frozen, straight from the freezer. Perhaps this is because I used to sneak them this way as a kid :), but my husband and kids also agree that this is the best way to eat them so I know it's not just me!
Cookie Ingredients:1 C (2 cubes) softened butter, unsalted (unsalted is important since this recipe does not call for salt)
3/4 C cornstarch
1/3 C powdered sugar
1 C flour
Frosting Ingredients:
3 oz cream cheese
1 C powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
food coloring (optional-my mom always added a touch of green for a light green color)
Directions
Beat cookie ingredients until well mixed, then chill slightly. Roll the dough into small balls and flatten with a cup, covered by a dishtowel or paper towel dipped in flour. Bake for 10-12 min at 350 degrees.
Beat together frosting and spread generously on completely cooled cookies.
