Ingredients
1/2cupbutter
1cupgranulated sugar
1egg
1 ½cupsall purpose flour
1 ½teaspoonsbaking soda
2Tablespoonscornstarch
1/2teaspoonsalt
Coarse sugar, for sprinkling on top of cookies (optional, but recommended)
Before beginning, line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Place the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Mix until smooth; add egg and mix well.
Add flour, baking soda, salt and cornstarch to the batter. Mix dough until it is thoroughly combined.
Measure out 1/3 cup dough for each of the 6 cookies. Roll dough between your clean hands to form a ball. Place on cookie sheet (3 per sheet). Repeat with remaining dough. Remember to leave enough space between each dough ball as they will be approximately 6 inches in diameter when done. Lightly press down on each dough ball with your hands, to slightly flatten. Sprinkle tops of cookies with coarse sugar.
Bake cookies at 350 degrees for 14-15 minutes or until cookies are light golden brown around the edges. Remove from oven. Let cookies cool on the parchment paper. They will firm up slightly as they cool. Enjoy!
