Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 375 grams (3 Cups) All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
  • 1 Teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Teaspoons Cornstarch/ Cornflour
  • 8oz (1 Cup) Unsalted butter, at room temp.

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cornstarch. Set aside.

  3. Stir in vanilla and the first egg, making sure to mix until fully combined. Then add the final egg, again mixing until fully combined.

Store at room temperature in an air-tight container.
