Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Notes
Chilling the dough for 15 minutes can help if the kitchen is warm. Watch baking time closely to prevent overbaking.
