== Why This Recipe Works ==<br />
We wanted a holiday cookie dough recipe that could be shaped into a variety of rich and tender cookies. When we added some cornstarch, which tenderized the dough, we had our perfect butter cookie recipe.<br />
<br />
== Notes ==<br />
Makes about 6 dozen cookies<br />
<br />
== Ingredients ==<br />
<br />
* 2 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour<br />
* 1/4 cup cornstarch<br />
* 2 teaspoons baking powder<br />
* Pinch table salt<br />
* 2 egg yolks<br />
* 3 tablespoons light cream<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon orange oil<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon lemon oil<br />
* 1/4 teaspoon citric acid<br />
* 1 cup granulated sugar<br />
* 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened<br />
* 4 tablespoons vegetable shortening<br />
* 1 tablespoon grated lemon zest<br />
* 1 tablespoon grated lime zest<br />
* 1 tablespoon grated orange zest<br />
<br />
== Instructions ==<br />
<br />
# Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment or silicone paper.<br />
# Mix flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Mix yolks, cream, vanilla, orange oil, lemon oil, and citric acid together in a measuring cup.<br />
# Cream sugar with butter and shortening until lightened and pasty. Add zests. Beat yolk mixture into creamed butter until just combined.<br />
# Add dry ingredients and beat until mixture begins to clump together (about 18 to 20 seconds on lowest speed of electric mixer).<br />
# Turn dough out onto a lightly floured board and knead gently to shape into a soft dough.<br />
# Roll dough 1/4" thick. Cut dough with the cookie cutter of your choice.<br />
# Bake 10-12 minutes, until cookies are just starting to brown around the edges.<br />
# Transfer cookies to cooling rack.</div>imported>Mikey
