Ingredients
- 230 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 50 grams Cornstarch
- 1 pinch Salt
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, use an electric mixer to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 2–3 minutes.
Step 3
Mix in the vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the dough comes together. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll them into small balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheets, leaving a little space between each.
Step 7
Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a fork or the palm of your hand to create a uniform thickness.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
