Ingredients
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- Additional powdered sugar for coating
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and cornstarch.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition. The dough will be soft and crumbly.
- Take about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a small ball between your palms. Place the balls onto an ungreased baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
- Use the bottom of a glass or a fork to gently flatten each ball into a round disc, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies are lightly golden. The centers should still be soft to the touch.
- Remove the cookies from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. They will continue to firm up as they cool.
- While the cookies are still slightly warm, roll each one in powdered sugar to coat them completely. Place them on a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once the cookies are completely cooled, roll them in powdered sugar again for a beautiful snowy white appearance.
- Serve and enjoy these delicious homemade Melting Moments III cookies with a cup of tea or coffee!
