Oatmeal Shortbread

Makes about 24

3/4 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup oats
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup powdered sugar

Mix flour, oats, corn starch and powdered sugar in a large bowl. Blend in butter. Work with hands until a soft, smooth dough forms. Shape into a disk and wrap with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator 30 minutes or until easy to handle. Preheat oven to 300F. Roll out dough to 1/4" thickness. Cut into shapes with cookie cutters. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Decorate if desired. Bake for 15-25 minutes, or until edges are lightly browned. Time will depend on cookie size. Remove and cool completely on wire rack.

I will give it a 2 instead of a 1 becasue they taste really good. But they don't bake well at all for cut out cookies. They spread too much and don't keep their shape. two stars

Yeild was missing from this recipe. I just baked until the dough was gone... made about 24 cookies.

My husband loved the taste. I didn't try it, but if he loves them, they must be good.

The dough was a little hard to work with. I added about 1/3 cup more butter than suggested to make it more workable.

I'll makes these every Christmas. four stars
