Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and vanillinsocker until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes using a hand mixer or whisk.
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing until a soft, cohesive dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the dough and roll it into small balls, roughly the size of a walnut.
Place the cookie dough balls on the lined baking sheets, ensuring they are spaced about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a spoon or the palm of your hand.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The cookies should remain relatively pale in color.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
If desired, dust the cooled cookies with powdered sugar for a decorative and sweet finishing touch.
