1 cup all-purpose flour
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons corn starch
1 heaping teaspoon baking cocoa
1 stick of butter, softened
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
Chocolate sprinkles

In small bowl mix flour, salt, corn starch and baking cocoa together, set aside. In medium mixing bowl, beat softened butter with electric mixer until smooth. Add sugar and beat a little while longer. Add vanilla and almond extract and beat. Add the dry ingredients to butter mixture and cut it in with a pastry cutter until thoroughly mixed. Gather into a ball and press into pie pan. Use a thin knife to draw the dough slightly away from the edges. Make a decoration on the dough by pressing the tines of a fork into it. Mark with a knife into 16-18 wedges. Sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles. Bake in center pre-heated oven 20 minutes, then turn and bake 20 minutes longer. DO NOT OVERCOOK! Remove from oven and allow the shortbread to cool for approximately 10 minutes. Gently re-score with a sharp knife to cut wedges.
