Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
• Add the cornstarch and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.
• Gradually add the flour, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
• Roll dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Flatten each ball slightly with the bottom of a glass or your fingers.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers should still be pale.
• Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
