Melting Moments - Easy Christmas Cookies

My sweet momma gave me this recipe and I share it when I can. These cookies are so simple to make and turn out delicious, they MELT in your MOUTH (not in your hand :o).



Made with love...


Hope you enjoy making and eating these! Not the healthiest cookie, but hey - it's the holidays!

I've got all my ingredients together to make another couple batches of these sweet treats to give to our neighbors for Christmas. I just need the self control to get them out of the house! They are so good :o)


Melting Moments
(this is doubled - which is rarely even enough for my family to enjoy and to share!)

Ingredients:
2 cups butter (softened)
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup cornstarch
2 2/3 cup flour
red or green sugar crystals (or any color)

 
Directions:
In medium bowl, beat together butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add cornstarch and flour, beating until blended.
Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375*.
Shape dough into 1 inch balls and roll in colored sugar. (great job for the kids!)
Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 12-15 minutes, until edges are golden.
Cool 2-3 minutes and remove to cookie rack.

***These freeze very well! Great to make ahead.***




My little girl LOVES to help roll the balls of dough in colored sugar.
It's a fun job for a 2-year-old  :o)





ENJOY and many blessings!

Thanks ladies! They were a hit this year, as I passed out a few cookie plates to neighbors. Next year I hope to make an extra large batch all at once... I baked these 4 seperate times over the past few weeks!
