Shortbread Cookies - Aunt Mae

I was almost 30 years old when I found out that Aunt Mae wasn't even and Aunt. Then why was she at all of the family reunions with Aunt Hazel? Probably because she made the best cookies in the world.

Aunt Mae's Shortbread Cookies

1 lb. butter
1 c. powdered sugar
1 c. cornstarch
2 ½ c. flour
1 t. anise flavoring

Mix butter and sugar, add cornstarch and flour until dough comes loose from bowl and does not stick to your fingers. Roll out dough and cut into cookies (or put through a cookie press). Bake at 250 degrees until firm to touch. Dip in powdered sugar while warm.
