Step-by-Step Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Preheat your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>.
\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper<\/strong> or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip:<\/strong> If you\u2019re short on time, you can also make these in an air fryer<\/strong> at 320\u00b0F (160\u00b0C) for 8 minutes<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

Step 2: Mix the Dough<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 In a mixing bowl, beat the butter and powdered sugar<\/strong> together until light and creamy. You can use a spoon, whisk, or an electric mixer for extra fluffiness<\/strong>.
\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 Add the vanilla extract<\/strong> and mix well.
\n3\ufe0f\u20e3 Sift in the flour, cornstarch, and salt<\/strong>, then gently mix until a soft dough forms.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip:<\/strong> The dough should be soft but not sticky<\/strong>. If it\u2019s too dry, add 1 teaspoon of milk<\/strong>; if too sticky, add a little more flour<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n

Step 3: Shape the Cookies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Take small portions of dough<\/strong> (about a tablespoon each) and roll them into balls.
\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 Place them on the baking sheet, leaving some space<\/strong> between each cookie.
\n3\ufe0f\u20e3 Gently press the top with a fork or your fingers to create a slightly flattened shape<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip:<\/strong> For extra flavor, press a chocolate chip, almond, or sprinkle on top before baking!<\/p>\n

Step 4: Bake the Cookies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

1\ufe0f\u20e3 Place the cookies in the preheated oven<\/strong> and bake for 8\u201310 minutes<\/strong> until the edges are slightly golden.
\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes<\/strong> before transferring to a cooling rack.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udccc Tip:<\/strong> The cookies will be soft when hot<\/strong> but will firm up as they cool\u2014so don\u2019t overbake!<\/p>\n

\n

Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\u2728 Enjoy these melt-in-your-mouth cookies<\/strong> warm or at room temperature.
\n\u2728 Pair them with tea, coffee, or a glass of milk<\/strong>for the perfect treat.
\n\u2728 Store them in an airtight container<\/strong> for up to 1 week<\/strong> (if they last that long!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
