Preheat oven to 300º and line cookie sheets with parchment paper or baking mats.
In a large bowl beat the butter and powdered sugar until very fluffy and aerated (at least 5 minutes).
Mix in the flour, cornstarch, salt and vanilla extract.
Dust your hands with cornstarch then form the dough into balls about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon in size.
Place on the lined cookie sheets and press down the top of each cookie with the tines of a fork dipped in cornstarch (to prevent sticking). Add a few sprinkles to the top of each cookie if desired.
Bake for 14-16 minutes, or until the tops look set.
