Butter cookies with cornstarch are simple, melt-in-your-mouth cookies made with butter, powdered sugar, oil, and all-purpose flour. Mix the dough with a mixer, finish it by hand, and divide it into three portions. Roll each into a thin rope and cut into small pieces. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes at 180 °C (350 °F), bringing the total time to about 25 minutes. They make a nice alternative to Linzer cookies when you want something sweet outside the Christmas season.

Vegetable oil 1/3 cup
Cornstarch 4 tbsp

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Place the softened butter, powdered sugar, vanilla sugar, and oil in a bowl and beat with a mixer. Combine the flour and cornstarch, add 1 cup of this mixture, and beat again. Add the remaining flour mixture and mix briefly.
Finish bringing the dough together by hand and divide it into 3 portions. Roll each portion into a thin rope and cut into small pieces. Place the pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in an oven preheated to 180 °C (350 °F) for 10 to 15 minutes.
Coat the baked cookies in powdered sugar to taste.

Tip: Sift the flour and cornstarch before adding them so the cornstarch distributes evenly throughout the dough without forming lumps. Coat the cookies in powdered sugar while they are still slightly warm so the sugar sticks better; they may break if coated while hot.
