Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.

Combine the flour, baking powder and cornstarch. Add to butter mixture and mix well.
Scoop the cookie dough out into balls and roll the balls in cinnamon and sugar. Repeat with the remaining cookie dough.

Use the bottom of a drinking glass and flatten the cookies. (see pictures above)
