Today's Cookie

Melting Moments:



These little things are delicious!  It's a super simple recipe too.

-1 cup butter
-1 cup flour
-1/3 cup powdered sugar
-3/4 cup corn starch

Soften butter and stir in dry ingredients, mix well.  Roll into large ball and chill in refrigerator for 2-6 hours.

Roll into little (about quarter-sized) balls and place on ungreased cookie sheet, bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.

Frosting:  My directions simply said to mix melted butter, milk, and powdered sugar, so I just did whatever I wanted and it turned out just fine.  (I did 1 cup powdered sugar, roughly 1 tablespoon melted butter, and added milk slowly until the frosting was relatively thick.)

These cookies are delicious, and they really do melt in your mouth.  Delicious!  I think they would also be good with a bit of lemon in the frosting.

  4. I think I have a sick affinity for adding vanilla to frosting. Generally without thinking or measuring. If nothing else, it used to be an ingredient in Rice Krispie Treats. I just had two delicious RKT's and they are fresh on my mind. At Christmas, we used to make Cheerio Trees, which basically substitute a different cereal for a very different flavor. Add green coloring and red hots for ornaments, and shape as trees.
