Description
These gluten-free cornstarch cookies are light, delicate, and melt in your mouth. They are perfect for those with gluten sensitivities or anyone looking for a unique cookie experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 cups cornstarch
- 1 cup all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, gluten-free flour blend, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined and a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Roll the dough into small, 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
- Gently flatten each cookie with a fork, creating a crosshatch pattern.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
- Do not overbake these cookies; they should remain pale.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
