  4. Make ready 40 grams Cornstarch
  5. Make ready 1 to 2 teaspoons Milk or heavy cream
  6. Take 1 pinch Salt

Steps to make Smiley Face Shortbread:
  1. Bring the butter to room temperature, and soften in a bowl. Sift flour and cornstarch together.
  2. Mix the softened butter lightly, and add sugar and salt to mix in (Just mix lightly until everything is well combined.)
