Ingredients
- 1 cup flour
- ½ cup cornstarch
- ¾ cup (1 ½ sticks) butter, softened
- ¾ cup confectioner’s sugar
- ½ teaspoon coarse salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- zest of 1 lemon
- ½ cup turbinado sugar, for rolling
Instructions
- 1. Sift flour and cornstarch in a small bowl.
- 2. In the bowl of a mixer, whip butter until light and fluffy. Add sugar, salt, vanilla, and lemon zest. Add in flour mixture.
- 3. The next step can be done in one of two ways: chilling the dough in a bowl and scooping it onto your baking sheets with a cookie scoop. The other option is to roll the dough into two logs, each 8 inches long and about 1 ½ inches thick. The log should be wrapped in parchment paper and chilled thoroughly (about 4 hours).
- 4. Preheat the oven to 350 F and prepare two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
- 5. If using the log method, roll each log in the turbinado sugar, then cut about ¼ - ½ inch thick. If using the cookie scoop method, scoop each cookie and coat the top with sugar.
- 6. Bake each sheet for 12-15 minutes, rotating halfway through.
