Melting Butter Cookies Food

CHEWY CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk the flour, baking soda, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the melted butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar together until no brown sugar lumps remain. Whisk in the egg and egg yolk. Finally, whisk in the vanilla extract. The mixture will be thin. Pour into dry ingredients and mix together with a large spoon or rubber spatula. The dough will be very soft, thick, and appear greasy. Fold in the chocolate chips. The chocolate chips may not stick to the dough because of the melted butter, but do your best to combine them.
• Cover the dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours or up to 3 days. I highly recommend chilling the cookie dough overnight for less spreading.
• Take the dough out of the refrigerator and allow it to slightly soften at room temperature for 10 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C). Line large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
• Using a cookie scoop or Tablespoon measuring spoon, measure 3 scant Tablespoons (about 2 ounces, or 60g) of dough for XL cookies or 2 heaping Tablespoons (about 1.75 ounces, or 50g) of dough for medium/large cookies. Roll into a ball, making sure the shape is taller rather than wide-almost like a cylinder. This helps the cookies bake up thicker. Repeat with remaining dough. Place 8-9 balls of dough onto each cookie sheet.
• Bake the cookies for 12-13 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. (XL cookies can take closer to 14 minutes.) The centers will look very soft, but the cookies will continue to set as they cool. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, press a few extra chocolate chips into the tops of the warm cookies. This is optional and only for looks. After 10 minutes of cooling on the baking sheets, transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Cookies stay fresh covered at room temperature for up to 1 week.

MELTING MOMENTS (BUTTER COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, vanilla, and sugar until creamy and combined.
• Add the cornflour, flour, and salt, and mix to form a smooth, soft dough.
• Roll the dough into small 0.7oz balls, and place them onto the prepared baking tray. Press them down with the tines of a fork. Freeze until solid - about 10 - 20 minutes.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until firm and just starting to colour around the edges (they'll still be very pale). Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

MELTING COOKIES

Steps:

• Sift the cornstarch, flour, and salt together in a small bowl.
• In a separate bowl, use the electric mixer to cream the butter and 1/2 cup of the confectioners' sugar together. Add the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients and continue mixing until the dough comes together in a ball.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Knead the dough briefly on a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 10 equal portions. Roll each portion into 1/2-inch diameter ropes. Cut each rope into 2 1/2-inch lengths. Gently roll each length so that the tips are tapered. Place the cookies 1 1/2 inches apart on a sheet pan and curve them slightly to resemble crescents. Refrigerate for 1/2 hour before baking to prevent spreading.
• Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in the middle rack of the oven. Cool for 3 minutes. Use a spatula to transfer the cookies directly onto a cooling rack. Dust generously with remaining 1 cup of confectioner's sugar. Use the remaining sugar to dust the cookies again just prior to serving.

MELTING BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cream butter until fluffy.
• Add in powdered sugar and vanilla.
• Mix in flour and cornstarch slowly.
• Roll into 1" balls and place on parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
• Bake for 15 minutes until bottoms are light brown.
• Cool.
• For icing, melt butter and mix in flavoring (i.e. almond, peppermint.) If its too stiff, mix in a little milk at a time.
