Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and powdered sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract to the butter and sugar mixture and mix until well incorporated.
In a separate medium-sized bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft, smooth dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a small cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop out about 1 tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 1.5 inches apart.
Flatten each ball gently with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top of each cookie.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a light golden brown. Keep an eye on them, as they can overbake quickly.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve your cookies with a cup of tea, coffee, or milk, and enjoy their delightful melt-in-your-mouth texture!
