Melting Moments Cookies

Cookies that are so buttery, so soft and soooo EASY and economical.

It is similar to the taste of the Royal Dansk Danish cookies.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 cup butter

3/4 cup granulated white sugar for rolling



Prep-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit


Combine the flour, sugar, cornstarch and butter in a bowl. Use your hands to blend all the
ingredients if the butter is cold.  If the butter threatens to melt, an electric mixer may be used.

Freeze the cookie batter for 10 minutes. Form the cookie dough into the size of a
maraschino ball. about 3/4 inch in diameter.  Scoop the batter with a teaspoon and drop
onto the bowl of granulated sugar with your finger and roll in sugar. Arrange the balls in an
ungreased cookie sheets, leavingabout 2 inches spaces between the cookies as allowance
for spreading.


Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the bottom and the edges are light golden brown in color.
The center will remain to be quite pale.


Carefully remove the cookies from the sheets using a wide spatula. Allow to cool on a wire
rack completely. Transfer them to a cookie jar with a tight fitting cover to maintain the
crispness.
