### Ingredients for Maizena Alphajors
– **1 cup Maizena (cornflour)** – This is the star ingredient that gives these cookies their light, melt-in-your-mouth texture. You can find Maizena in most grocery stores, usually in the baking or international foods section.
– **1/2 cup all-purpose flour** – This adds a bit of structure to the cookies, balancing the softness of the Maizena.
– **1/2 cup powdered sugar** – For sweetness. You can adjust the amount based on your preferred sweetness level.
– **1/2 cup unsalted butter** – Softened at room temperature, butter provides the rich, creamy flavor and texture.
– **1/2 teaspoon baking powder** – To help the cookies rise slightly and give them a light texture.
– **1 teaspoon vanilla extract** – For added flavor, though optional, it pairs perfectly with the buttery taste.
– **A pinch of cardamom powder** (optional) – A touch of cardamom adds a fragrant, exotic aroma that complements the sweetness of the cookies.
