DAD'S MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• In the bowl of a large mixer cream the butter until fluffy, then add vanilla and the espresso.
• In a large bowl sift the confectioners' sugar then add to it the butter mixture in the mixer and mix well.
• In the same bowl used to sift the sugar, add flour and salt and sift. Add them to the mixer that contains the cream, butter mixture. Turn the mixture out on a floured board and sprinkle the pine nuts on the mixture and mix nuts in well with your hands (if dough gets too sticky add a bit more flour to the board and to your hands). When nuts are mixed in, place mixture in a large glass bowl and put in refrigerator for 1/2 hour to make it easier to roll. Take bowl out of the refrigerator and with your hands pick up walnut sized balls of dough, roll them in your hands and place them in an ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until cookies turn a light golden brown. When all of the cookies have been baked place them on a cooling rack overnight. If you are pressed for time 5 hours will do.
• In a large resealable plastic bag place the pound of confectioners' sugar (this is a bit of overkill but I wanted to have enough powdered sugar for the cookies). Add 6 to 12 cookies at a time and gently toss them in the powdered sugar and then place them on a cooling rack trying not to disturb the sugar coating. Continue until all cookies are coated. Let cookies rest so that the coating really adheres. Now - when you eat one - you will want another and another and another!
• My Dad used to also coat these cookies with raw sugar (that he had family ship from Italy), and I have made them that way also. However, people seem to like the powdered sugar more.

MELT-IN-YOUR-MOUTH CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. Combine melted butter, oil, brown sugar, milk and vanilla in large bowl, beating at medium speed of mixer until well blended. Mixture will not resemble normal "creamed" batter because of the melted butter; this is totally ok. Beat in egg.
• Combine flours, salt, baking soda (and if using, oats) with a whisk to ensure everything is well incorporated. Mix, by hand, into wet ingredients just until blended. You might want to mix in about a third at a time to make it easier. At this point you may need to add a tablespoon or two of flour-you want the dough to be firm enough to easily roll into a ball. Stir in chocolate chips.
• Roll into balls about a little smaller than the size of a golf ball and place 2-3 inches apart on ungreased baking sheet. Press 3 or 4 chocolate chips into tops of cookies, and bake for 8-10 minutes for soft, chewy cookies, or 11-13 minutes for crisp cookies. I prefer soft and chewy, and they normally go for about 9 minutes.
• Cool for 5 minutes in sheets; transfer to wire racks.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH COOKIES III

• Combine the butter, flour and confectioners' sugar together. At first it will have a pie crust consistency. Roll into one large log and wrap in wax paper or plastic wrap. Chill for at least one hour.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Slice chilled log into 1/4 inch thick slices. Place cookies on a baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until edges just begin to turn golden, about 10 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't burn.
