Ingredients
1 cup softened butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon cornstarch
A pinch of salt
Vanilla extract
Optional: Melted chocolate, candied cherries, colored sprinkles
Instructions
Beat the butter well for 3–4 minutes until creamy and fluffy.
Add the powdered sugar and beat again until very light and fluffy.
Add the flour, cornstarch, salt, and vanilla extract and mix gently until a very soft dough forms.
Put the dough in a piping bag fitted with a star tip and pipe circles or rosettes onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake at 300°F/150°C for 12–15 minutes, or until lightly golden.
Let them cool completely, then decorate as desired.
Tip:
The longer you whisk, the fluffier the cookies will be and the more they will melt in your mouth.
