Ingredients
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- ¾ cups confectioner’s sugar (plus more for dusting)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
Creamy Beginnings
Whip up the butter and ¾ cups confectioner’s sugar until light and fluffy—about 4 minutes of pure joy!
Vanilla Dream
Stir in that lovely vanilla extract.
Mix It Up
In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually beat into the butter mixture until smooth.
Shape & Chill
Divide the dough into three parts. Roll each into 1-inch logs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least one hour.
Prep for Baking
Heat things up by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice & Chill Again
Slice logs into 1-inch pieces, lay them on the sheet, and give them another 30-minute chill.
Bake to Perfection
Bake for 8 minutes till the bottoms are lightly golden. Let cool on the sheet for 3 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Sweet Finish
Once cooled, dust generously with confectioner’s sugar.
Notes
Tip for Creaming
Make sure your butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming.
Chilling Time
Allowing the dough to chill helps the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
Storage
Store cooled cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh.
Serving Suggestion
These cookies pair wonderfully with tea or coffee, making them an elegant addition to any gathering.
