Sugar Puffs

Thoughts Before Cooking:

I had a friend who loved this cookie recipe so much, that I made them for her birthday two years in a row.

This recipe comes from The King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion: The Essential Cookie CookbookSugar. Yep another recipe from that fantastic cookbook.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 Cup of Confectioner’s Sugar (Powdered Sugar)
• 3/4 Cup (1.5 sticks) of Unsalted Butter
• 1/2 Teaspoon Salt (Extra-Fine Preferred)
• 1.5 Teaspoons of Vanilla Extract
• 1/2 Cup of Cornstarch
• 1 Cup of Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
3. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream together sugar, butter, salt, and vanilla.
4. Add the cornstarch and flour, stirring to make a cohesive dough.
5. Drop the dough by tablespoonful onto the prepared baking sheets.
6. Bake the cookies for 25 mins (I recommend 30) or until they are lightly golden brown.
7. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to cookie rack to cool.

Thoughts After Baking:

These were delicious. I recommend them.
