Melting Moments


THE premiere holiday cookie... Great grandma's very best!
Cookie Ingredients

1 Cup Butter
1/3 Cup Powdered Sugar
3/4 Cup Cornstarch
1 Cup Flour

Cookie Directions

1. Mix all ingredients together, form small balls on cookie sheet; chill overnight.
2. Bake at 350 for 10 to 15 minutes.

*A small cookie scoop is 2 teaspoons and is the perfect size for these cookies. Little hands can stay busy by rolling them after they are measured.

Icing Ingredients

1 Small (4 Ounce) Package of Cream Cheese
1 Cup Powdered Sugar
1 Tsp total Vanilla & Food Coloring

Icing Directions

1. Mix ingredients. Drop onto cooked cookies.
Mom Tips
* I always sift the powdered sugar into the cookie and the frosting recipes.
* The "classic" version of this recipe features green icing using conventional food coloring, however artificial food dyes are off limits here. We use India Tree Natural Decorating Colors. They are $18.99 for three colors at Whole Foods, but we have no other choice if we want color! It's hard to get vibrant colors using natural food dyes, so we opted for a light pink.
