Chocolate-Filled Shortbread


This is the one cookie in our home that gets made EVERY Christmas, no matter what! It's my husbands favorite and even the youngest kids can help make them (after those little hands are done with them they might look a little scary but they always look good after they come out of the oven :)) My mom has made these as long as I can remember and with only 5 ingredients they whip up in a snap and are a fun twist on traditional shortbread. 
 

Chocolate-Filled Shortbread

1 lb. butter (454g.)
1 c. icing sugar
3 c. flour
1/2 c. cornstarch
chocolate wafers (the kind you find in the bulk section for melting)

Cream the butter and sugar. Add flour and cornstarch, combine till stiff dough forms.
Place 2 chocolate wafers in the middle of each 1" ball. (I like to make them flatter than a ball.)
(Hope the pictures help)
 
Then bake on ungreased cookie sheets at 325 for 20 minutes. (Until they start to get very lightly golden at the edges). Easy Peezy, enjoy!
