  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter 2 sticks
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Roll or sift with powdered sugar. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely.
  • Sift or with powdered sugar again if desired.
