Melt Aways
Calories:
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ cup corn starch
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon almond extract
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- sugar for rolling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350˚F. Line two sheet pans with parchment baking paper.
- Beat butter until very light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- Add powdered sugar and cornstarch and beat until well-incorporated, about 1 minute.
- Add vanilla and almond extracts, flour and and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.
- Using a small cookie scoop, make equal size scoops of dough. Roll each scoop into a ball and roll in sugar. Place on prepared sheet pans and flatten with the bottom of a glass*. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and place on a cooking rack.
Notes
If your cookies crack a bit on the sides when you flatten them, just add a few drops of water to your dough or very lightly wet your hands before rolling. When you flatten, do it slowly, this will help to keep the dough from cracking also.
