Melting Moments ♥

Have you ever dreamt of cookies that just melt in your mouth? That delicious, fluffy, crumbly cookies... So mouth watering.

Let me introduce you to Melting Moments cookies. And yes, they literally melt in your mouth.


They are delicious and easy to make.

Melting Moments
[yield ~3 dozen of cookies]
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup confectioner sugar
1/2 cup cornstarch (corn flour)
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp salt

Directions
Combine the dry ingredients and sift them.Cream the butter until light and fluffy (around 2 mins). Add the flour mixture and vanilla extract, beat thoroughly. Cover the batter with clip wrap and refrigerate for 1 or 2 hour (or until it's firm)
♥ Preheat the oven to 150C and line the baking sheet with parchment paper
♥ Shape the dough to 1 inch ball and place about 1 1/2 inches a part with one another. Lightly press the dough with a fork that has been dusted with flour (so it's not sticky)
♥ Bake about 18 minutes or until the edges are brown
♥ Remove from the oven and place the baking sheets onto the wire rack to cool for about 3-5 minutes
♥ Transfer the cookies onto the wire rack that has been place a parchment paper underneath and sprinkle the top of the cookies with icing sugar using a sieve

As you can see that the recipe involves only a few ingredients, so I suggest that you invest in a good quality butter. Because it will make a difference!

(tips: to make it even smoother surface on the top, I light pressed the dough with a bottom of a glass, but make sure to use the ones with flat bottom)
