Milk Cookies Recipe That Melts in Your Mouth Like Snow

 1Preheat the oven:

Preheat to 175°C (350°F).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
 2Cream butter and sugar:

In a bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
 3Add wet ingredients:

Mix in the milk and vanilla extract until well combined.
 4Incorporate dry ingredients:

Sift together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add to the wet mixture and mix until a soft, non-sticky dough forms.
 5Shape the cookies:

Roll the dough into small balls (about the size of a walnut).
Place them on the baking tray, leaving some space between each.
Gently flatten them with your fingers or the back of a spoon.
 6Bake:

Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the bottoms are slightly golden. (Do not overbake—cookies should remain pale for that melt-in-your-mouth texture!)
 7Cool and dust:

Let the cookies cool on the tray for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Dust with powdered sugar for an extra snowy effect. 
 Tips:
 Cornstarch is the secret to making them extra soft and delicate.
 For a twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the dough. 
 Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
