Melting Moments

These cookies are lovely and really do melt in your mouth!

Ingredients:


12 oz unsalted butter, softened
3 oz icing sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
10 ½ oz plain flour
1 ¾ oz cornflour

Directions:


Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Get 2 baking sheets ready. 

Place the butter and sugar in a large bowl and beat together until light and fluffy, then beat in the vanilla extract. 
Sift over the flour and cornflour and mix thoroughly.

Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle and pipe 32 cookies onto each baking sheet (I don’t have a piping bag, so I used a Ziploc bag with one of the bottom corners cut off (very slightly) – worked a charm!! Thanks to my sister Margaret for this great suggestion!

Bake in the oven for about 15 mins, or until golden brown. Leave to cool on the baking sheet.
