Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup salt (for stovetop cooking)
Directions:
Step 1:
In a large bowl, whisk together the softened butter, powdered sugar, salt, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture, stirring well until fully incorporated.
Transfer the cookie dough into a piping bag fitted with a star tip.
Step 2:
Pipe the dough onto a round baking tray or plate. Chill the piped cookies in the refrigerator or freezer for at least 30 minutes — this helps them hold their shape during cooking.
Step 3:
For stovetop cooking, pour 1 cup of salt into a large pan and place a steaming rack in the middle. Preheat the pan over medium heat. Arrange the tray with the chilled cookies on top of the steaming rack, cover with a lid, and cook for 30 to 35 minutes, maintaining medium heat.
Alternative Oven Method:
If you prefer baking, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the cookies for about 15 minutes, until lightly golden.
Step 4:
Let the cookies cool completely before serving. Enjoy your buttery, soft cookies fresh from the stovetop or oven!
