Receta Melting Moments
May every day of the New Year glow with good cheer & happiness for you & your family.
Happy New Year!
As one year comes to an end and the New Year
begins, I hope you all had a great time last year… 2015 was not the very best
for me, health wise, but by God’s grace I have recovered perfectly.... I am
thankful for all the blessings God give us all throughout the year, for
protecting us and keeping us safe and healthy to see yet another year.... Blog
wise also I was not regular, taking lots of breaks... I am thankful to all my
readers, friends and family for encouraging me every time and I hope to come up
with more recipes in the coming year...
Melting Moments are one of the easiest and
sophisticated cookies that you can make during the holiday season. This was one
of the cookies I made for my son’s school party this Christmas. Melting Moments
can store very well for a couple of weeks, thus you can make it ahead of time.
Kids and adults will surely love these beauties :)
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups (195 grams) -All-purpose
- flour
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) - Corn
- flour
- 1/4 cup (30 grams) - Confectioners’
- sugar (powdered or icing)
- 1 cup (227 grams) - Unsalted
- butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) -Confectioners’
- sugar (powdered or icing)
- In a medium sized bowl
whisk together the flour, corn flour and salt.
In the bowl of your
electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until creamy
and smooth (about 2 minutes). Beat in the vanilla essence.
Add the flour mixture and
beat just until incorporated. Cover and refrigerate the batter for an hour
or two, or until firm.
Preheat oven to 350
degrees F (177 degrees C) and place rack in centre of oven. Line two
baking sheets with parchment paper.
When batter is firm, form
into 1 inch (2.5 cm) balls and place the cookies on the prepared baking sheets,
spacing about 1 inch apart. Bake for about 10 - 14 minutes or
until the edges of the cookies just start to brown.
Remove from oven and place
on a wire rack to cool for about 3-5 minutes.
Transfer the cookies to a
wire rack that is placed over a sheet of parchment or wax paper.
Put the confectioners’
sugar in a fine strainer or sieve and sprinkle the tops of the cookies with the
sugar.
These cookies store very
well. Place in an airtight container between sheets of wax paper and they
will keep a couple of weeks. If desired, just before serving, sprinkle the tops
of the cookies with confectioners’ sugar.
