Ingredients:

  1. 2 cups - all-purpose flour
  2. 1/2 cups - powdered sugar
  3. 2 tablespoons - cornstarch
  4. 1/4 teaspoons - salt
  5. 3/4 cups - butter

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 13x9x2-inch baking pan with foil. Grease foil; set aside. In a large bowl combine the 2 cups flour, the 1/2 cup powdered sugar, the cornstarch, and salt.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes more or until center is set. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack. Grasping foil overhang, lift from pan. Cut into bars. Right before serving, sift powdered sugar over tops. Cover and store in the refrigerator.
