Ingredients:
- 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup (100g) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup (30g) cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- Optional: Granulated sugar for coating
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Dough
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until smooth and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
2️⃣ Combine Dry Ingredients
In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.
3️⃣ Chill the Dough
Shape the dough into a log, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
4️⃣ Slice & Bake
Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Slice the chilled dough into ½-inch thick rounds and arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden color.
✨ Optional: Lightly coat the cookies with granulated sugar before baking for extra sweetness and texture.
