1 stick of lightly salted butter
½ cup fine sugar
Grated rind of one lemon
1 egg beaten
2 ¼ cup flour
¼ cup corn starch
½ tsp. vanilla extract
¼ cup colored sugar crystals
Heat oven to 350. Beat butter, sugar and lemon rind together until light and fluffy. Gradually add the egg, beating well after each addition. Sift together the flour and the cornstarch and blend into this mixture, along with the vanilla. Knead to marble, smoothly (but not too hard).Roll out this dough to about ¼ inch thickness and then cut into star shapes. Sprinkle the tops of these stars with colored sugar and press them down gently so they get embedded into the dough. Bake the cookies for 10 to 12 minutes. Leave to cool on the sheets for 3 minutes, and then remove. These star shapes go perfectly with the Christmas spirit.
