SAND COOKIES

1/2 cup cornstarch

1/2 cup shortening

1/2 cup butter

1 1/4 cups confectioners sugar *

1 1/2 t. vanilla extract

2 eggs

*(we also liked 3/4 c. conf sugar & 1/4 c.

granulated which made them a slight bit sweeter)

Creaming method. Put through bag with large star tip.

Bake @ 375 F for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown.

Decorate with choc chips, sprinkles or leave plain and dip half in melted choc., etc.

Look at the picture she took!

The chocolate dipped ones are the ones I made:

I made the cookies too. One I made with my butter cookie recipe and one I made with her recipe.

I have to say, the Sand cookies where so delicate and delicious.
