Melting Moments are butter cookies or cornstarch cookies that melt in your mouth and make you want more~ They're so simple and requires only 4-5 ingredients! (the hardest part might be piping but you can also simply scoop them onto the baking sheet if piping is too much hassle for you)
Level: Easy- Moderate
Makes: around 32 cookies
Ingredients:
- 350g unsalted butter, soft/ in room temperature
- 85g icing sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 300g plain flour
- 50g cornflour/ cornstarch
Variations: You can also add in chocolate chips/ chopped nuts. Just fold them into the mixture at the end of Step 3.
Directions
- Combine the plain flour and cornflour.
- In another bowl, use an electric hand mixer to mix the butter and icing sugar until smooth. Add in the vanilla extract if you choose to use it.
- Gradually add the flour mixture into the butter mixture and fold with a spatula until well blended.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper. If you wanna pipe it, continue to next step. If you wanna scoop them by hand, skip to Step 7.
- Immediately insert a portion of the mixture into a piping bag with a star shaped piping tip and pipe in circular motion from the outside to the middle of the cookies. When you end, you want to lean the piping tip close to the baking paper and squeeze until the mixture sticks well to the paper and then press it down slightly before lifting up your piping bag.
6. Chill the piped cookies in the fridge for about half an hour. Preheat the oven to 180C. Bake the cookies for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Skip to Step 9.
7. Chill the dough in the fridge for about half an hour. Preheat the oven to 180C.
8. Roll the dough into little balls or scoop the dough using two teaspoons and drop them onto the baking sheet. Gently press down the dough with your fingers or using a fork for nicer shape. Leave them about one inch apart. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
9. Allow them to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
