Have a large ungreased baking sheet ready.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together for 2\u20133 minutes until light and fluffy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Incorporate the vanilla extract and egg yolk. Continue to mix until the mixture is uniform and smooth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Add the flour, cornstarch, and salt slowly. Until a soft, smooth dough is created, mix on low speed. Don&#8217;t overmix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With a wide open-star tip, pipe the dough into a piping bag. Leaving around 1 inch between them, pipe 20 thick cookie swirls onto the baking sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To preserve their shape, chill the cookies that have been piped for 20 minutes. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the borders are light gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before moving the cookies to a wire rack to completely cool, let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every taste of these cookies is delicate, a touch crispy at the edges, and delightfully buttery!<\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__list wp-block-latest-posts is-layout-flow wp-block-latest-posts-is-layout-flow\"><li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/boodiz.com\/?p=2489\">Crispy Brown Sugar Bacon Wrapped Crackers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/boodiz.com\/?p=2486\">Classic Homemade Butter Cookies<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/boodiz.com\/?p=2481\">Creamy Cucumber Tomato and Egg Salad<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/boodiz.com\/?p=2477\">Crispy Baked Cheesy Eggplant Slices<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a class=\"wp-block-latest-posts__post-title\" href=\"https:\/\/boodiz.com\/?p=2474\">Christmas Sugar Cookies with Frosting and Sprinkles<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These buttery little cookies have delicate golden edges and a soft, melt-in-your-mouth center.
