Melting Moments II
These delicate cookies are a wonderful addition to your dessert table. Soft and buttery, they truly live up to their name. With just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up a batch that will impress your family and friends!
Ingredients
To make these delightful cookies, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: Jam or chocolate for filling
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create the perfect Melting Moments:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand, then use your thumb or the back of a spoon to make a small indentation in the center of each cookie.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look soft, but they will firm up as they cool.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- If desired, fill the indentations with your choice of jam or melted chocolate for an added layer of sweetness.
