Ingredients (Makes ~25 cookies)
• 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
• 2/3 cup (80 g) powdered sugar
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1 ½ cups (190 g) all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup (30 g) cornstarch
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough
- In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar together until creamy and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
- Add the egg and vanilla extract, mix until well incorporated.
- In another bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Mix until you have a soft, smooth dough.
- Pipe the Cookies
- Transfer the dough into a piping bag fitted with a large star tip (e.g., Wilton 1M).
- Pipe the dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming circles or rosettes.
• Tip: If the dough feels too stiff to pipe, let it soften a little at room temp or add 1–2 tsp milk. - Bake
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Bake cookies for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
