Prepare the Dough:

o In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 3/4 cup of confectioner's sugar until light and fluffy.

o Blend this for approximately 2 to 3 minutes at medium speed with either a hand mixer or a stand mixer.

o Add the vanilla extract and beat until incorporated.

Combine Dry Ingredients:

o In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.

o Slowly incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until a pliable dough comes together.

Shape the Logs:

o Divide the dough into two equal portions.

o Roll each portion into a log approximately 1 inch in diameter.

o Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Preheat the Oven:

o Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

o Prepare a baking sheet by placing a sheet of parchment paper on it.

Slice and Bake:

o Remove the dough logs from the refrigerator.

o With a sharp knife, slice the logs into pieces that are 1/4-inch thick.

o Arrange the slices on the lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 inch of space between each one.

o Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are just starting to turn golden.

Cool and Dust:

o Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

o Once cooled, generously dust the cookies with additional confectioner's sugar for a snowy finish.

Serve:

o Serve the Buttery Delight Logs with a cup of tea or coffee and enjoy the melt-in-your-mouth texture.
