Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
0.5 cup confectioners' sugar
0.25 cup cornstarch

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
In a large bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add flour, confectioners' sugar, and cornstarch. Mix on low for 1 minute, then increase to high and beat for 3 to 4 minutes. Drop spoonfuls of dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake in the preheated oven until the edges turn golden, approximately 12 to 15 minutes. Let them cool briefly on the baking sheets before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
