Directions

- Whisk the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Set aside.

- Add the granulated sugar and beat on medium-high speed until creamed, about 2 minutes.

- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix on low speed until combined.

- Remove from the oven and place the pan on a wire rack. Cool the cookie pizza completely before frosting.
