Serving36 people
Ingredients
Cookies:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¾ cup butter, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting:
- ½ cup butter, or margarine, softened
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups powdered sugar, (more or less depending on how thick/runny you like it)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, cream butter and powdered sugar together. Add vanilla. Add in flour and cornstarch; mix well.
- Place dough in the refrigerator for 45-60 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- Roll dough into 1" balls and place on a cookie sheet. Flatten each ball by gently pressing the bottom of a glass on each cookie (dip the bottom of the glass in powdered sugar first to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of a cookie). Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are slightly golden- be sure not to overbake these cookies!
- Let cookies cool for 5-10 minutes on their pan, then carefully remove them (I just put them on a plate, but you could put them on a wire rack). These cookies are very delicate, so handle carefully.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the frosting ingredients until well-blended and frost each cookie.
