3
Whip the egg whites until they form soft peaks, about ⏱️ 1-2 minutes with an electric mixer.
4
Slowly add ⅓ cup of sugar and continue to whip until they form stiff, glossy peaks, about ⏱️ 4-5 minutes more.
5
In a different bowl, whisk the egg yolks until combined, then add the remaining ⅓ cup of sugar and continue mixing until the yolks turn a pale yellow color, about ⏱️ 4-5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla.
6
Carefully add the egg yolk mixture to the whipped egg whites, then sift the flour and cornstarch over the top.

7
Gently fold all of the ingredients together until well mixed, being careful not to deflate the whites. The batter should look fluffy and aerated.
8
Add the batter to a piping bag with a large circle tip or a ziploc bag with the corner cut off.
9
Pipe into logs about 1 inch thick and 4 inches long onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each cookie.
10
Dust the wet batter with powdered sugar.

12
Allow the cookies to cool on the pan for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to completely cool.
13
Dust with a little more powdered sugar if you like, then serve!
