Cookies:
1 c. butter (no substitutes)
3/4 c. cornstarch
1/3 c. powdered sugar
1 c. flour
Cream butter, gradually add cornstarch and sugar. Blend in flour and mix. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake at 325 for 10-12 minutes. Cool and frost.
Frosting:
1/2 c. butter, soft, but not melted
2 c. powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 Tbs. milk or cream
Beat butter with mixer. Mix in the powdered sugar on low speed. Add the vanilla and 1 Tbs. milk/cream. Mix 3 minutes. If the frosting is too thin, add a little more sugar. If it is still a little thick, add more milk/cream.
*Depending on what time of year we make these, we will add food coloring to the frosting...red/green at Christmas; yellow/pink in the Spring.
