Melting Moments

The name of this cookies tells it all "Melting Moments!"  This melt-in-the-mouth cookies can be served as it is, but since I have a bottle of Fig Preserve lying in the fridge I've decided to sandwich the cookies together with the fig preserve and the outcome is great!


This quick and easy recipe comprises only of 4 simple ingredients, and here's to share......

This is what you need:
  • 125g unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 25g icing sugar (sifted)
  • 125g plain flour (sifted)
  • 25g cornflour (sifted)
Few simple steps:
  1. Beat the butter and icing sugar using an electric mixer till light and fluffy using medium speed.
  2. Line two baking trays with parchment paper and put aside.
  3. Add in both the flour slowly and mix using low speed and scrapping the sides of the mixing bowl with a cake spatula to ensure that all the ingredients are well combined.  For this step we can also use hand to mix.
  4. Pinch a bit of dough and roll into balls (size depending on your preference but bearing in mind that the cookies will increase in size when baking).
  5. Arrange the rolled dough in the baking sheet lined with parchment paper, remember to give some space in between for it to rise.  Repeat till all is done.
  6. Lightly flatten the top of the round dough with finger and follow by a wet fork.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven of 180 degree Celsius for 20 minutes (depending on the type of oven we are using) till lightly golden.
  8. Cool for about 5 minutes in the baking tray, take out and leave on a wire rack to cool further.
  9. Sandwich the fig preserve with two pieces of the cookies, sprinkle some icing sugar over it and it's time to serve!
Let's have TEA......
