Lemon Shortbread

250g butter, softened
3/4 cup Chelsea Icing Sugar
1/2 cup cornflour
1 1/2 cups standard grade flour
Extra Chelsea Icing Sugar to dust
Preheat oven to 150ºC. Beat butter and Chelsea Icing Sugar until creamy. Mix in cornflour and flour. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1 cm thick and cut into Christmas shapes with a cookie cutter. Carefully place on a greased oven tray. Prick with a fork.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until shortbread is pale but crisp. Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight container.
To serve, dust with Chelsea Icing Sugar.
Absolutely love this recipe. I added the grated rind of a lemon and baked the biscuits for 20mins on fan bake at 140 degrees and they turned out perfect. My oven runs a bit hot so adjusted the temp and cooking time.
