Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 Eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Spoon tablespoon-sized portions of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches of space between each.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
While the cookies cool, whip the heavy whipping cream in a bowl using a hand mixer until soft peaks form.
Once the cookies are cool, sandwich two cookies together by spreading or piping a dollop of whipped cream onto the bottom of one cookie, then topping with another cookie.
Dust the sandwiched cookies generously with powdered sugar.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Enjoy your light and fluffy Powder Puffs!
