Stamped shortbread cookies are a classic Scottish style cookie that have been enjoyed for centuries. These cookies are made with a simple yet delicious combination of butter, sugar, flour, and cornstarch, and are perfect for any occasion.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter, sugar, and dried butter powder until creamy and smooth.
2.	In another mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
3.	Slowly add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and beat until the dough comes together.
4.	Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape them into a disc. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
5.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
6.	Take one disc out of the refrigerator and roll it out to about ¼ inch (6mm) thickness. Use a cookie cutter or stamp to cut out the cookies and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
7.	Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges become lightly golden brown.
8.	Take them out of the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing and placing them on a wire rack to cool completely.
