Ingredients
- 226 grams unsalted butter
- 100 grams granulated sugar
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 50 grams powdered sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, beat the unsalted butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy and smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Add the granulated sugar and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 3 minutes.
Step 4
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch to combine them evenly.
Step 6
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a soft, smooth dough forms. Do not overmix.
Step 7
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip for floral shaping.
Step 8
Pipe small flower-shaped cookies onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 1 inch of space between each cookie.
Step 9
Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn a light golden color.
Step 10
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
Once cooled, dust the cookies lightly with powdered sugar for a finished, elegant touch.
