Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Optional granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 170°C (340°F) and line two baking trays with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together using a handheld or stand mixer until light and fluffy—this should take about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed. The dough should come together and be soft but not sticky.
Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, pipe the dough onto the prepared trays in 3-inch long strips, leaving about 1 inch of space between each strip.
If desired, sprinkle the optional granulated sugar over the tops of the piped strips for a touch of sweetness and texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges just start to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender and buttery.
Remove from the oven and allow the 'Buttery Fingers' to cool completely on the trays before transferring them to an airtight container for storage.
Serve with tea, coffee, or as a standalone treat. Enjoy!
