Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract and heavy cream until fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until a soft dough forms. Be careful not to overmix.
Step 6
Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large star tip.
Step 7
Pipe small rosettes or swirls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set but still pale in color. Do not let them brown.
Step 9
Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, lightly dust the cookies with additional powdered sugar before serving.
