Ingredients
Scale
1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the baking sheet: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cream butter and sugar: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla extract.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt.
- Combine wet and dry ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing just until a soft dough forms.
- Shape and bake: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of dough, roll into balls, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or a fork. Bake for 12–14 minutes until edges are just beginning to turn golden.
- Cool and enjoy: Let the cookies cool on the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For an extra touch, dust the cooled cookies with more powdered sugar.
- You can also add a hint of almond extract or lemon zest for flavor variations.
