On a side note, when I bake ball-shaped drop cookies like this, I LOVE using the Wilton Muffin Top Pan instead of a regular baking sheet.
It helps them hold their round shape and keeps them spaced evenly.

- 1-½ cups flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 vanilla bean split in half
- 1 cup cold butter diced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
In a food processor or using a mixer, blend flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch and salt until combined.
Using a knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add to the food processor.
Roll about a tablespoon of dough into a ball and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10 minutes, or just until the edges start to brown.
Cool for 1-2 minutes.
Roll the top of each cookie in granulated sugar and move to cooling rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Please note that you do need to let these cornstarch cookies cool for at least 1-2 minutes before dipping the top in granulated sugar - or they will fall apart! Be very gentle when doing this because they are EXTREMELY soft and I broke ½ of my first batch of these cookies by doing it too soon! But don't wait too long because they need to be slightly warm for the granulated sugar to stick!
