Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.
Add the granulated sugar to the butter and continue to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Mix in the low-fat Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and egg white until fully incorporated.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a star-shaped nozzle.
Pipe small rosettes of dough, about 2 inches apart, onto the prepared baking tray.
Using the back of a small spoon, make a small indentation in the center of each rosette.
Fill each indentation with a small amount of raspberry or strawberry jam.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden.
Let the biscuits cool on the baking tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust the biscuits lightly with powdered sugar before serving.
