Mixing Dough
- In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together. Set aside.

Chilling and Baking
- Cover the dough tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days.
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, scoop the dough and roll into a ball, shaping it tall rather than wide.

- Bake for 13–14 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
