Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 226 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 60 grams Cornstarch
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together using a hand or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt to ensure even distribution.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it to about 1/4-inch (6 mm) thickness.
Using a cookie cutter of your choice, cut out shapes from the dough and transfer them to the prepared baking sheets. Leave about 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space between each cookie.
Optional: Use a fork to gently press down on the cookies to create a decorative pattern.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the cookies cool on the sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
