Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 20 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy. This should take about 2–3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
Add the vanilla extract to the creamed butter and sugars, and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
Flatten each ball slightly with your palms or the back of a spoon to ensure even baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are just beginning to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the buttery cookies at room temperature and enjoy!
