They are a simple little cookie with a light vanilla and butter flavor. Texture wise, expect to be delighted because they’re as light as pillows (thus the name) and melt right in your mouth! These cookies are the perfect balance of sweet and airy, and are sure to be a hit with the whole family.

How to Make this Angel Pillows Cookie Recipe

Directions for making this Angel Pillows Cookie Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

In a food processor, blend all of your flour, powdered sugar, cornstarch and salt together until they are thoroughly combined.

Using a knife, scrape the seeds from the vanilla bean and add it to the food processor. Then add in your butter and process it again until a dough ball forms.

Roll about a tablespoon of dough into a ball and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Tip! The Wilton Mini Whoopie Pie pan is perfect for baking these!

Bake your cookies at 350 degrees F for 10-12 minutes, or just until the edges start to brown. Cool your cookies for about 2 minutes and then roll the top of each cookie in sugar and set them aside on a baking rack to cool.
