    • Parchment paper
    • Rolling pin
    • Cookie sheets
    • Wire cooling rack

    Directions

    1. Place butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Cream, using an electric mixer, until fluffy and combined. Add eggs, one at a time, and beat until incorporated. 

    2. On low speed, mix in flour, cornstarch, salt, and baking soda. Continue beating at low speed for 3 minutes, or until dough comes together. Stir in vanilla. Divide dough in to two portions and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 30 to 60 minutes or until chilled.
