Preheat your oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Avoid overmixing.
Divide the dough into small, golf-ball-sized pieces, about 1 tablespoon (25 grams) each. Roll into smooth balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches between each ball.
Lightly flour your cookie stamp molds to prevent sticking. Gently press the stamp mold onto each dough ball to flatten it and imprint the design. If needed, reshape the edges with your fingers.
Chill the stamped cookies in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to help maintain the design while baking.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly golden. Avoid overbaking to keep the cookies tender.
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
