Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using a hand or stand mixer (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the vanilla extract to the butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt to combine.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft, slightly crumbly dough forms. Do not overmix.
Portion the dough into 1-inch balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1-2 inches of space between each ball.
Using the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass, gently flatten each ball to form a disk about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges just begin to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, dust the Dulcitas generously with powdered sugar before serving or storing in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
