Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, oil, and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the egg and a pinch of vanilla. Mix until well combined.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients:
- In a separate bowl, sift together the cornstarch, baking powder, and flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.
- Shape the Cookies:
- Take small portions of the dough and roll them into balls. If desired, you can flatten them slightly and make an indentation in the center for fillings.
- Place the cookie dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Add Fillings and Toppings (Optional):
- If using chocolate, press a piece of chocolate into the center of each cookie.
- For honey or jam fillings, place a small amount into the indentation of each cookie.
- If desired, sprinkle some cookies with coconut powder for added flavor and texture.
- Bake the Cookies:
- Place in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges turn a light golden brown. The centers should remain soft and chewy.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve:
- Once the cookies are completely cool, serve them on a plate and watch them disappear!
