In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar together until light and creamy, about 2 minutes, then mix in the vanilla extract.
Step 3
Whisk together the flour and cornstarch, then stir into the butter mixture until a soft dough forms.
Step 4
Press the dough evenly into an 8-inch square pan, or roll to 1/2-inch thickness and cut into rounds on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Prick the dough all over with a fork.
Step 6
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until pale golden at the edges.
Step 7
While still warm, cut into fingers or wedges, then cool completely in the pan before removing.
