Step 2: Mix the Dough
1️⃣ In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar together until light and creamy. You can use a spoon, whisk, or an electric mixer for extra fluffiness.
2️⃣ Add the vanilla extract and mix well.
3️⃣ Sift in the flour, cornstarch, and salt, then gently mix until a soft dough forms.
📌 Tip: The dough should be soft but not sticky. If it’s too dry, add 1 teaspoon of milk; if too sticky, add a little more flour.
Step 3: Shape the Cookies
1️⃣ Take small portions of dough (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
2️⃣ Place them on the baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
3️⃣ Gently press the top with a fork or your fingers to create a slightly flattened shape.
📌 Tip: For extra flavor, press a chocolate chip, almond, or sprinkle on top before baking!
Step 4: Bake the Cookies
1️⃣ Place the cookies in the preheated oven and bake for 8–10 minutes until the edges are slightly golden.
2️⃣ Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
📌 Tip: The cookies will be soft when hot but will firm up as they cool—so don’t overbake!
