• Roll into balls the size of ping-pong balls.
• Place on cookie sheet and flatted to about 1/2 inch.
• Bake at 425* for just a few minutes until the edges just begin to show color (really watch them closely!) When cool, frost with the icing mixture on the FLAT side- to create a sandwich cookie.

EASY MELTING MOMENTS BISCUIT RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 160deg fan assisted. Have ready a baking sheet lined with a silicone baking sheet or baking parchment.
• Cream the butter and icing sugar together until well combined. This will only take a couple of mins if the butter is soft enough.
• Add the flour, cornflour and salt. Mixed everything together to form a smooth firm dough.
• Shape into even small, walnut sized pieces. Place these onto the prepared baking sheet. If you wish to be exact, weight the dough first. Then divide into equal weights.
• Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 - 20 mins. Or until baked. They won't have a deep golden baked colour and may still feel slightly soft as you take them out of the oven. But they will firm up once cooled.

MELTING MOMENTS COOKIES RECIPE

Steps:

• Measure all the ingredients.
• Put all the ingredients in a mixer or blender. Add the butter first, followed by icing sugar, and cornstarch and salt.
• Lastly, add the cake flour on top.
• Mix until the ingredients are well combined and clear from the side of the mixing bowl.
• Place a piece of baking paper on the baking tray.
• Apply some oil to the paper with a bakery brush.
• Use a small amount of the cookie dough to form a ball with your clean hand, about 12g each. Place the ball on an oiled baking paper, well separated from each other. Press it down with the back of the fork to form a pattern. Otherwise, you can also pipe it onto the baking paper.
• Bake at 190°C for 18 - 20 minutes.
• Put the cookies into the cookie box, and separate with the bubble wraps.
• Seal it up with cellophane tape.
