2. In the bowl of a stand mixer or using a hand mixer on medium speed, cream butter and sugar together until smooth and creamy (about 5-6 minutes). Mix in vanilla and beat until combined, scraping down the sides and the bottom of the bowl as needed. Turn mixer off then slowly add in cornstarch and flour. Turn mixer back on low and beat until the dough starts to crumble and clump together. If dough seems too wet - add more flour (1 tablespoon at a time up to 2 tablespoons). If dough is too wet, add 1-2 teaspoons milk. Turn mixer off and gather the dough with your hands to press the dough down and together while kneading and squishing the dough with your palms to form a big ball. This might take about 2 minutes. The warmth from your hands will soften the dough and form together. Pick off 1" pieces and roll and squish tightly into round cookie dough balls (you can roll them in granulated sugar for an extra crunch and sheen if desired) and place about 1.5" apart onto prepared baking sheets.

1. Preheat the oven to 375 F (190 C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In the bowl of a stand mixer fit with the paddle attachment, or a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the butter, sugar, and almond extract together until light and fluffy- about 2-3 minutes on medium-high speed.
3. Add the salt and cornstarch into the bowl and mix until evenly distributed. Add the flour into the bowl and mix until incorporated. The dough will be crumbly and will not completely come together. But it should hold together as you scoop and roll them into balls. If it isn't holding when you try to scoop them, add 1-2 tablespoons of milk or water to the dough until it can hold shape when pressed together.
4. Scoop the dough into 1 tbsp portions (I use this cookie scoop), roll into smooth balls and place on the parchment lined baking sheets. The warmth of your hand and light pressure will help the dough come together. Press your thumb into each ball about 1/2" deep.
