Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Unsalted butter, softened
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 280 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, beat the softened unsalted butter with granulated sugar using a hand mixer or stand mixer for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a smooth dough forms. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure everything is well combined.
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Roll the chilled dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets, spacing each ball about 2 inches apart.
Gently flatten each ball with a cookie stamp dipped in flour to prevent sticking. Press evenly to create a clear imprint.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Be careful not to overbake to maintain the delicate texture.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the stamped shortbread cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Enjoy!
