Cook time: 15 minutes
Stand time: 60 minutes
Level: Easy
Yield: 20 cookies
Ingredients:
1) ½ cup unsifted all-purpose flour (80g), ½ cup corn starch (70g), 1/6 tsp salt;
2) ½ cup butter (120g) room temperature, 3 tbsp icing sugar (24 g);
3) ½ tsp vanilla extract;
Topping:
4) ¼ cup icing sugar(32g).
Directions:
1: Place all ingredients of Ingredient 1) in a bowl and mix well with a fork, set aside (Picture 1).
2: Place all ingredients of Ingredient 2) in another bowl (Picture 2). Beat with a handheld mixer at high speed until light and fluffy (Picture 3).
3: Add vanilla extract (Picture 4), beat at high speed for another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture (Picture 5) and beat until mixture resembles moist crumbs with no visible butter chunks (Picture 6).

6: Bake at 350Ffor about 15 minutes until the edges of the cookies start to turn light brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
7: After cookies completely cool, sprinkle the icing sugar on top before serving.
