INGREDIENTS • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature

• ½ cup icing sugar • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 2 cups all-purpose flour

• 1/3 cup cornstarch • ½ tsp salt • ¾ cup Hershey’s Skor bits

DIRECTIONS 1. Using electric beaters, beat the butter for a minute, then add the icing sugar and beat until incorporated and fluffy, about 1 minute. Beat in the vanilla, then add the flour, cornstarch and salt and beat on low speed. Once incorporated, beat on medium-high speed until the dough comes together. Add the Skor bits and stir in. 2. Shape the dough into 2 logs about 10 inches long and wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours until firm. 3. Preheat the oven to 325F and grease or line 2 baking trays with parchment paper. 4. Unwrap and slice the dough into cookies ¼-inch thick and arrange them on the baking trays leaving at least ½-inch between them. Bake for about 16 minutes, until the cookie barely start to show a little colour at the edges. Cool the cookies completely on the baking tray before removing. The cookies can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. JULY
