Instructions

Preheat the oven to 170 °C (340 °F) and line a baking tray with baking paper.
Beat the soft butter with the sugar until pale and light.
Add the whole egg, the yolk and the vanilla, and mix.
Stir in the starch, baking powder and salt, and knead quickly until you have a smooth dough.
Shape into small balls the size of a walnut, flatten them slightly with a fork and place them on the tray, spaced apart.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are just golden. Let them cool on the tray; they firm up as they cool.
