Ingredients
  

  • 125 g salted butter room temperature
  • 40 g powdered sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract optional
  • 125 g potato starch preferred or corn starch
  • 80 g cake flour
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Electric mixer
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Sifter
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 160°C (320°F).
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the room temperature salted butter and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Add the pure vanilla extract to the mixture and mix until well combined.
  4. Sift together the potato starch and cake flour in a separate bowl. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed to avoid flour clouds until just combined.
  5. Shape the dough into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may appear soft, but will firm up as they cool.
  7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Dust with powdered sugar once completely cooled.

Notes

  • Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
  • Don't overmix the dough after adding flour to keep cookies tender.
  • Cool cookies completely before storing to maintain freshness.
