Melting Moments Cookies are delicate, buttery treats known for their soft, crumbly texture that simply melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 and 1/2 cups cornstarch
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 egg

For Bonding (Optional)

  • Honey – for bonding cookies together

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix egg and vanilla: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  3. Add melted butter: Pour the melted unsalted butter into the egg and vanilla mixture, then cream them together thoroughly for a smooth consistency.
  4. Add dry ingredients and combine: Add the powdered sugar, cornstarch, all-purpose flour, and baking powder to the wet mixture. Use your hands to mix everything until the dough is well combined and no longer sticky to touch.
  5. Shape the cookies: Roll the dough into small balls weighing approximately 0.5 oz each. Place them evenly spaced on the prepared baking tray.
  6. Bake the cookies: Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until the edges just begin to slightly brown. The cookies should retain a pale color for the perfect texture.
  7. Cool the cookies: Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for 5 to 10 minutes before carefully transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Optional bonding: If desired, use a drop of honey to glue pairs of cookies together for a sandwich-style presentation.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Arrange the cookies on a serving plate and enjoy your delicate, melt-in-the-mouth Melting Moments Cookies.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is melted but not hot when mixing with the egg to avoid cooking the egg.
  • Do not overbake to maintain the tender, crumbly texture.
  • Optionally dust the cookies with additional powdered sugar for extra sweetness and presentation.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
  • Use honey sparingly for bonding so as not to overpower the cookie flavor.
