Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 75 grams Powdered sugar (sifted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 225 grams All-purpose flour
- 75 grams Cornstarch
- 100 grams Butter (for filling, softened)
- 200 grams Powdered sugar (for filling, sifted)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon Milk (optional, for filling)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 160°C (320°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes when using an electric mixer.
Add the vanilla extract and mix briefly until combined.
Sift the all-purpose flour and cornstarch into the butter mixture. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Roll small portions of the dough (approximately 1 teaspoon) into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a small gap between each ball.
Using the tines of a fork, gently press down on each ball to create a flattened, ridged disc.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake; these cookies should remain pale.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the filling, beat the softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together in a bowl until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too stiff, add a small splash of milk to loosen it slightly.
Once the cookies have cooled completely, sandwich two cookies together with a generous dollop of the buttercream filling in the center.
Repeat with the remaining cookies and filling. Serve and enjoy!
