Delightful, soft, and buttery cookies that melt in your mouth. Perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (226g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup (100g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 3/4 cups (220g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (30g) cornstarch

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and mix well.
  2. Sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Gradually add to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
