Gluten Free Bakery Style Sugar Cookies

Add the room temperature butter and both white and brown sugar to a mixing bowl or bowl of a stand mixer.
1/2 cup unsalted butter, 3/4 cup white sugar, 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
Beat with an electric mixer for about 20 seconds, until well combined.
Add in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined.
1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Add in the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, soda and salt. Be sure to spoon and level the flour, don't scoop from the bag or you will end up with more flour than you really need.
1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose baking flour, 2 teaspoons cornstarch, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt
Beat to combine.
Scoop using a roughly 2 tablespoon cookie scoop and roll in white sugar.
Set in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
Add the cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between each. I don't recommend more than 6 cookies per sheet.
Bake for 13-17 minutes or until the edges are just barely golden brown.
Use a round cookie cutter to swivel around the edges to create perfect circles.
Let cool, then sprinkle with sanding sugar and enjoy!
