Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until smooth and creamy.

Prepare Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and cream of tartar until evenly combined.

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture, blending well to form a smooth dough.

Chill Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until firm, for about 20-30 minutes.

Roll Out Dough: Once chilled, roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about 1/8 inch.
