Ingredients

  • 210 g (1 and ½ cup) all-purpose flour, dip and sweep
  • 60 g (½ cup) cornstarch
  • 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar
  • 170 g (¾ cup) unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • 60 g (½ cup) powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F(177°C). Line baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Mix the flour, powdered sugar and cornstarch in a medium bowl.
  • Beat the butter almost 1-2 minutes until creamy with a hand-held mixer or with paddle attachment if using a stand-mixer.
  • Add the vanilla and stir.
  • Add in the dry ingredients in 2 bacthes at low speed. When the dough looks crumbly, stir at medium-high speed for almost 15 seconds until the dough comes together.
  • Make 2 teaspoon (17 grams) big balls. You can take the dough with a cookie scoop, place on a baking sheet and then roll each dough into balls.
  • Flatten the dough with your palm or fingers. Press the dough with the tines of a fork to give their shape.
  • Bake for 16-18 minutes until the top of the cookies set. The cookies shouldn't be brown. When you try to hold the cookies, they shouldn't fall apart.
  • Keep the cookies on baking sheet for almost 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Once cooled, you can coat the cookies with powdered sugar. You can place the cookies one by one in a bowl that is full of powdered sugar and cover them with sugar. Remove the excess by shaking the cookies before placing on a plate.
