Fluchtlings Pletzchen

Preheat oven 325 degrees

250 grams (9 oz) butter
100 grams (3.5 oz) confectioners' sugar
250 grams (9 oz) cornstarch
2 pkg vanilla sugar (if you make your own, 2 Tablespoons)
100 grams (3.5 oz) flour

In a food processor, combine butter and sugars, zap until well mixed.
Open top and add flour and cornstarch. Process well. It will form a ball of dough.
Remove dough, form into log about 2" in diameter. Refrigerate for 2 hrs.
Slice 1/4" thick, place 1" apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Using a fork, press on each cookie leaving marks.
Bake for 12-14 minutes or until slightly brown on edges.

Very flakey, melts in your mouth.
Variation: I made a batch that I added 2 teaspoons of almond extract.
Another batch I added 2 teaspoons of rum extract.
Extracts were added at end while mixture is processing into a ball.
Both were great!
ENJOY
