1 cup butter, softened
1 1/4 cups confectioner’s sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Beat the butter and ¼ cup of confectioner’s sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the vanilla extract and beat to combine.
Add the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Beat until well incorporated.
Divide the dough into 3 portions.
Roll portions of dough into logs until the dough reaches a diameter of about 1 inch. Wrap each log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for one hour.
After the hour has passed, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Working with one log at a time, remove the plastic wrap and slice the log into 1 inch increments. Place on the prepared baking sheet, leaving 1 inch of space between each cookie. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
To bake, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Remove the baking sheet from the fridge and bake for 8 minutes or until the bottom of the cookies are just slightly browned.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 3 minutes on the baking pan. Transfer to a wire cooling rack and dust the tops liberally with the remaining cup of confectioner’s sugar.
