Melting Moments Cookies – Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup cornstarch
• 1/8 tsp. salt
• Powdered sugar for topping before serving

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl mix butter and powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth.
2. Mix in vanilla extract.
3. In another bowl combine the flour, cornstarch and salt.
4. Gradually mix in the flour mixture into the butter/sugar mixture until well incorporated.
5. Cover the dough and chill for at least 30 minutes.
6. Line two 13 x 18 baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
7. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
8. Remove the dough from the fridge and using a teaspoon scoop enough dough to make small balls (the size of a cherry) and place them on the lined cookie sheet, spacing them at least 1 inch apart.
9. Gently press each one down with your fingers or a bottom of a shot glass.
10. Bake for 11-13 minutes, but do not over bake. The tops will remain light and the bottom edges will begin to get light golden.
11. Remove from the oven and rest in the pan for a couple of minutes. Then using a spatula gently remove them one by one onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
12. Once cooled you can store them in an airtight container or freeze them for later use. Thaw in an airtight container for a hour or longer before using.
13. Before serving dip the bottom of each cookie in powdered sugar then lightly sprinkle the tops with powdered sugar.
