Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Preheating the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). This ensures the oven reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cookies to perfection.
- Mixing the Ingredients: Using an electric mixer, whip the softened butter until it is fluffy. Gradually add in the confectioners’ sugar, followed by the cornstarch and all-purpose flour. Begin mixing on low speed to incorporate the ingredients gently, then increase to high speed and continue mixing for 3 to 4 minutes until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth.
- Shaping the Cookies: With a spoon, drop scoops of the cookie batter onto an ungreased cookie sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading during baking.
- Baking: Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Keep a close eye on the cookies to make sure the edges don’t brown too much. They should remain light in color with a slightly golden edge.
- Cooling: After baking, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the cookie sheet for a few minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
