Preheat the oven to 350°F and line baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a bowl, whisk together cornstarch, flour, baking powder, and baking soda.

In a separate bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.

Gradually add dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a soft dough forms.

Roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thick and cut into rounds.

Place cookies on the prepared sheets and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Cool on wire racks.

Spread dulce de leche on the flat side of half the cookies and top with the remaining cookies.

Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
