Easy Whipped Shortbread Cookies

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• sprinkles

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 300F degrees and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
2. In a large bowl beat the butter and powdered sugar until very fluffy and aerated (at least 5 minutes.
3. Mix in the flour, cornstarch, salt and vanilla extract.
4. Dust your hands with cornstarch, then form the dough into balls about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon in size.
5. Place on the lined cookie sheets and press down the top of each cookie with the tines of a fork dipped in cornstarch (this prevents sticking). Add a few sprinkles to the top of each cookie.
6. Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the tops look set.
