Golden Crisp Vanilla Cookies

Ingredients

24 servings
|
  • 1/2 cup
    Butter unsalted or Margarine
  • 3/4 cup
    Sugar granulated or Coconut sugar
  • 1
    Egg large or Flax egg
  • 1 tsp
    Vanilla extract pure or Almond extract
  • 1.3 cup
    All-purpose flour or Gluten-free flour
  • 1/4 cup
    Cornstarch or Potato starch

Instructions

1

Cream butter and sugar

In a mixing bowl, cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Ensure the butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and a smoother texture.

Ingredients needed for this step

butter sugar
2

Incorporate egg and vanilla

Add the large egg and pure vanilla extract to the creamed mixture, and mix until well combined.

Crack the egg into a separate bowl first to avoid any shell pieces in the dough.

Ingredients needed for this step

egg vanilla extract
3

Combine dry and wet ingredients

Sift together the all-purpose flour and cornstarch, then gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring until a soft dough forms.

Sifting the dry ingredients helps prevent lumps and ensures an even texture.

Ingredients needed for this step

all-purpose flour cornstarch
4

Chill the dough

Cover the dough and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and helps the cookies maintain their shape during baking.

Prepare the cookies for baking

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll the dough into small balls, about 3/4 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart.

Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Bake the cookies

Flatten each ball slightly with your fingers, then bake in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.

Keep an eye on the cookies during the last few minutes to prevent over-browning.

7

Cool the cookies

Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Cooling on the baking sheet helps the cookies set and prevents them from breaking.
