Preparation

Make the Dough
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, powdered sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter until light and fluffy. Add the egg yolks and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a smooth dough forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Shape and Bake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out circles. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow to cool completely.

Assemble the Alfajores
