Using a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. In a separate bowl, sift together flour and cornstarch. In three additions, gradually mix dry ingredients into butter and sugar mixture. Do not chill the dough at this point! Scoop dough by the tablespoon and roll into a ball with palms. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving 1-inch between each cookie. Press lightly with a fork dipped in flour
