Ingredients
- ▢1 ½ Cups Butter at Room Temperature , salted
- ▢¾ Cup Confectioners’ Sugar
- ▢2 ¼ Cups All Purpose Flour
- ▢¾ Cup Cornstarch
Flavorings and Toppings: (optional but delish)
- ▢2 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract or Lemon extract or Orange extract
- ▢¼ Cup Sprinkles (of choice) (I used non-pareils)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl beat butter and confectioners’ sugar for 3-4 minutes. Don’t skimp on the beating time for light textured cookies. Add flavorings at this point (if adding) and give it a whirl too.
- Next add in sifted flour and cornstarch in the bowl and beat only till combined.
- Scoop and roll into 36 equal sized cookie balls. Place cookie dough balls on a pre-lined baking tray or on a large plate (coated with little flour) to avoid the dough balls from sticking to the plate. Press their tops with a cornstarch/flour dipped fork and top with sprinkles.
- Now chill the dough balls for about 2 hours in fridge or till they are very firm to touch. Pro Tip: To speed up this process, you may chill the dough balls in freezer until firm.
- Let dough balls chill in the fridge/freezer till you preheat the oven. I usually bake 12 cookies on a tray at a time.
- When ready to bake preheat oven at 300 deg F and bake cookies for 19-20 minutes. Or till their tops look set.
- Allow to cool on the baking tray.
