Step 1
Whisk dry ingredients (flour and cornstarch) together and set aside.
Step 2
Cream butter and sugars with paddle attachment, on medium-low speed, until fluffy and pale in color (about 5 minutes).
Step 3
Add egg, extracts, and zest (if using) and mix on low speed until thoroughly combined. Scrape down the paddle with a spatula, and then continue to mix on low speed for another 30 seconds to ensure everything is fully incorporated.
Step 4
Add dry ingredients, all at once, and mix on low speed just until dough starts to come together and no dry bits remain. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Turn out dough onto cling wrap, wrap tightly, and refrigerate overnight (or at least 4 hours).
Step 6
Knead, roll, cut out cookies, and return to fridge or freezer until firm. Leave a couple inches between cookies.
Step 7
Bake at 350° for ~15 minutes, turn pan, and bake for another 1-5 minutes until edges are starting to turn a golden brown.
Step 8
Remove from oven and allow to fully cool on cookie sheet before handling.
