Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking tray with parchment and set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt.
In a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and ½ cup sugar until fluffy, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. Scrape bowl as needed. Mix in the dry ingredients until incorporated.
Use an ice cream scoop to portion the dough onto the lined sheet tray. (I use a 1/3-ounce scoop.) Use a damp palm to just slightly flatten the dough mounds, then sprinkle the tops with sugar.
Bake for 10 to 11 minutes or until tops are set and edges are lightly browned.
