Time 1h23m

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar ((+ more for dusting before serving if desired))
3/4 cup butter ((salted - softened, at room temperature))

Steps:

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and confectioners' sugar.
In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer cream the butter until smooth and lighter in color. Add the dry ingredients and mix until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet with about 2 inches of spacing between the cookies.
Press down firmly to flatten the cookies using a dampened fork. Bake in the middle of your oven's center rack for 18-20 minutes or until the cookie bottoms just begin to turn a light golden color.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar once cooled (or the sugar will melt) if desired.

Tips:

For the best results, use high-quality butter and cornstarch. The fresher the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste.
Make sure to cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the cookies achieve a tender and crumbly texture.
If you don't have a stand mixer, you can cream the butter and sugar together with a hand mixer or even a wooden spoon. Just be sure to mix them until they are well combined.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cookies from becoming too dry.
Be careful not to overmix the dough. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
If you want the cookies to have a crispier texture, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Bake the cookies until the edges are just starting to brown. Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.
