Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Cornstarch
- 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
Directions
Step 1
To prepare the mix: Take a clean, dry mason jar (approximately 16 ounces in size).
Step 2
Layer the ingredients in the following order: all-purpose flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, salt, and ultimately granulated sugar. Tap the jar gently after each layer to settle the ingredients and create defined layers.
Step 3
Seal the jar tightly with a lid, and attach a label or card with baking instructions (see below).
Step 4
To bake the cookies: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, empty the entire contents of the jar. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of softened unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Step 6
Mix the ingredients together until a soft dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1-2 teaspoons of milk until it holds together.
Step 7
Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them at least 2 inches apart.
Step 8
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are firm but not browned. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Step 9
Once slightly cooled, roll each cookie in additional powdered sugar for a snowy, festive finish. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Enjoy your delicate, melt-in-your-mouth powder puff cookies or gift them to someone special!
