Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs at room temperature
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup corn starch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Sift the flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl using a hand mixer, cream the butter with the sugar until smooth and combined.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, and vanilla extract until incorporated. Add the flour mixture with the mixer at low speed. Mix just until the dough comes together.
- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and divide it into two pieces. Roll each piece of dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper to a thickness of 1/4 inch. Cut into desired shapes and freeze for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 30 minutes. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes – time will vary with the size of the cookie. Bake until the edges just begin to brown. Cool on the baking sheet for two minutes and then remove to a rack to cool completely. Decorate as desired.
