  3. In another bowl, combine 2¾ cups flour, ¾ teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
Baking the Cookies

Notes

These cookies are perfect on their own, or you can pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of cream cheese frosting. For best results, chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking to ensure chewy cookies.
