Melting Butter Cookies
As the title describes, the melting moments with these little treasures are totally perfect for the lazy afternoon with a nice cup of hot tea
If you love buttery stuff, you will definitely love this.
- 225g plain flour
- 75 g corn flour
- 250g unsalted butter, softened
- 55 g icing sugar
- pinch of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla essence or extract
- Preheat oven to 180°C.
- Prepare a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper.
- Sift together the all purpose and corn flours twice. Set aside.
- Sift the icing sugar in a large mixing bowl.
- Add in the butter and salt** to the sugar and beat the mixture until light and fluffy. Finally, add vanilla essence or extract.
- Stir in the sifted flours until combined.
- Place the mixture into a piping bag* fitted with a fluted nozzle and pipe 1-inch rounds onto the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 15 minutes, until cookies are golden.
- Cool on baking tray.
This will get you around 45 cookies, depending on how ‘big’ you make them.
*If you find it hard to use the nozzle and all, you may do it the simple way. Cut a piece of tracing paper or non-stick baking paper to A4 size. Fold it such that it forms a cone shape. Put the mixture into the cone and then, seal the top by folding it downwards and preventing any of the mixture from oozing out. Then take a scissors and cut off a small piece of the end of the cone. After which, you may use your self-created nozzle bag and make your melting moments.
**If you are using salted butter, you may choose to omit adding salt.
