Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened Make sure butter is at room temperature.
- 2 cups all-purpose flour Measure accurately to avoid dense cookies.
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar Use to cream with butter.
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Can be substituted with other extracts for flavor variations.
- a pinch salt
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing until well blended. The dough should be soft and slightly crumbly.
- Scoop small amounts of dough and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on the lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Gently press each ball to flatten it slightly, creating a round disc.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
