Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180c). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Sift the flour, salt and cornstarch into a large bowl. Repeat process for the confectioners sugar into a separate bowl. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the butter using a hand mixer for about 2 minutes. If using a stand mixer, for about 4 minutes. Note: Using a hand mixer, mixes faster than a stand mixer.
- Once the butter is soft and fluffy, add the confectioners sugar. Mix with the whisk first (without the mixer being on) to prevent from flying out of the bowl.
- Mix on speed #2 to integrate. Scrape down sides of the bowl with a spatula and continue mixing for about 1 minute.
- Add the vanilla and egg. Beat for about a minute until everything is integrated and fluffy. Clean the mixer whisks and add into the bowl.
- Add half of the flour mixture and integrate with the spatula (using a spatula to mix helps the butter to stay airy at this point). Add the rest of the flour and fold to integrate all ingredients.
- Transfer the dough to a decorating bag fitted with a large open star tip. Pipe the dough into 2-inch circles on the parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- For cookies with jam in the middle: Use the tip of your finger to gently press an indentation in the center each cookie dough ball. Add a little bit of your favorite jam, cajeta, nutella or dulce de leche.
- Bake, one pan at a time, until light golden brown at the bottom, 12 to 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely before storing or serving.
