3 INGREDIENT MELT IN YOUR MOUTH SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Combine all ingredients and mix for a FULL 10 minutes.
• Yes, I said a full 10 minutes!
• Mixture will start out very dry and crumbly but will become batter like after the full 10 minutes.
• I like to use my stand mixer for this, but a hand mixer will do the trick if it is a strong one.
• Drop from teaspoons or a piping bag onto a cookie sheet, I find teaspoons work best.
• Decorate with maraschino cherries or sprinkles if you feel fancy.
• Bake for approx 15 minutes or until bottoms are very lightly brown.
• Watch that the tops don't turn brown!

• Add in the mini chocolate chips; mix to combine.

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.

MINI SHORTBREAD COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300 degrees F.
• Sift the corn starch, icing sugar and flour.
• Blend in the butter until dough is completely smooth (I usually just use my hands to do this).
• Roll out dough on a floured surface to 1/4" thick.
• Cut cookies using a 1" round or heart shaped cookie cutter (these cookies turn out much better small).
• Reform the leftover pieces of cookie dough to roll and make more cookies.
• Place cookies on a shiny cookie pan (preferably one of the insulated types).
• Top cookies with either 1/4 or 1/2 of a cherry (these are tiny cookies and depending on cherry size do just fine with 1/4 of a cherry) OR a chocolate chip.
• Bake at 300 degrees F for 17-18 minutes.
• These cookies do not turn noticibly brown.
