½ tsp salt

1 cup butter
½ cup sugar
Sift flour, salt, cornstarch together twice then work in sugar, then butter continually kneading and working until the dough is fine and smooth. Press in 9 inch square pan and bake at 350° for half to ¾ hours.
@Kurtroedeger I love that this recipe is coming around again. It's the cornstarch that makes all the difference. I have a recipe for "Meltaways" cookies that use cornstarch, and they do, in fact, melt in your mouth.
