Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy. Add in the vanilla extract and mix again until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Slowly start adding the dry ingredients to the butter mixture. Make sure not to overmix so the cookies stay soft.
Take about 1 tablespoon worth of cookie dough and roll it into 1-inch ball. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie dough ball. Press down very gently with a fork then place in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 10 minutes. (do not flatten the cookies too much when pressing with a fork to keep the cookies from spreading too much.
Allow the cookies to cool down on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before using a thin spatula to transfer them to a cooling rack. These cookies will be very soft so proceed with caution.
Dust them with more powdered sugar while they're warm. If the sugar melts, add another dusting of powdered sugar after they're fully cool to give them that snow look.
