Easy Portuguese Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 tablespoons cornstarch
    1 cup white sugar
    3 tablespoons butter
    2 eggs
    2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 teaspoons baking powder
Preparation
    Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
    In a medium bowl, stir together the cornstarch and white sugar. Add the butter and cream well. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Combine the flour and baking powder; stir into the sugar mixture until a dough forms. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/4 inch thickness and cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place cookies 1 inch apart onto an unprepared cookie sheet.
    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven, until cookies are golden brown at the edges. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
