Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking liner and set aside
  • In a medium bowl combine flour, cornstarch, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix it up and set aside.

  • Add egg, egg yolk, and vanilla to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until combined and uniform. (If there will be any delay in your cookie baking, place dough in the fridge!)
