No eggs, no worries, nothing wrong with shortbread!

Had to have something sweet. But my chickens are not cooperating. I made crepes for breakfast and now I only have one egg left. Then I remembered that shortbread doesn't require eggs! The most important ingredient in a good shortbread is butter. If you use good fresh butter, you will have the best shortbread money can buy.
Cream 1 1/2 sticks of butter with 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 cup cornstarch. Bake until golden. Cut while still hot. About 10 minutes prep and 20 min in a convection oven and there you have it.
