Melting moments
Makes 20 cookies
Easy
25 minutes, plus 20 minutes’ chilling time 
15 minutes, plus 3 minutes for melting chocolate If you’re a fan of shortbread-like cookies that melt in your mouth, then this recipe for melting moments is an absolute must-try. You can dip them in chocolate or adorn them with a dusting of icing sugar. Either way, you’ll be shoving them in your face quicker than you can chew them.
Ingredients
Method
- 210 g cake flour
- 65 g cornflour
- ¼ t salt
- 230 g unsalted butter at room temperature
- 80 g icing sugar
- 1 t vanilla essence
- 80 g milk or dark chocolate
- 1 T butter
Method
Ingredients
1. Preheat the oven to 175°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornflour and salt. Mix using a fork.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the butter and icing sugar using an electric mixer until smooth.
4. Add the vanilla essence and mix again.
5. Slowly add the flour mixture and beat until well blended.
6. Chill the dough for about 20 minutes.
7. Using your hands, make golfball-sized balls of dough and place them on the baking tray, leaving about 2.5 cm between each ball, then gently press the tops with a fork; or pipe the dough onto the tray using a big star-shaped piping nozzle to give the biscuits a more exciting shape. Bake until light golden, about 12 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.
8. Melt the chocolate in the microwave in small bursts, then add the butter and stir until smooth. Dip the cooled biscuits one by one into the melted chocolate and place them on a piece of baking paper to set. Pop the kettle on and invite me over for tea.
