Melt In Your Mouth Butter Cookies Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Krumkake / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago When we moved to Fremont, NE in the 1980's, a neighbor made these to welcome us – what a great neighbor!

Ingredients

1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened

1/3 HEAPING cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup flour

¾ cup cornstarch

dash of salt

Directions

Cream together butter, sugar and vanilla.

In separate bowl, mix together flour, cornstarch and salt; stir into creamed mixture.

Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet, flattening cookies with your fingertips (don’t flatten too thin or cookies will break) and keep in a round shape.

NOTE: if you chill the dough a half hour or so, they will be easier to pat out into circles. I can never wait that long, so the dough is quite sticky and soft, requiring a bit more work.

Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes, until very lightly browned around edges.

Cool several minutes; remove carefully from cookie sheet...the cornstarch and powdered sugar make these cookies very crisp and delicate, and they will break easily if not handled with a gentle hand!

Cool on waxed paper; frost with powdered sugar frosting, tinting it a soft pastel, if desired.

NOTE: My daughter's favorite frosting on these is the Browned Butter Caramel frosting that I have posted seperately.

Sounds like a good recipe, will bookmark to make this winter. Oh forgot I have a small convection oven that bakes also, could do them in it this summer.

I love butter cookies but don't bake. I think I'll give these a shot. You get 5 forks from me.
Thanks, Donman :)

Congratulations on your new home, Krumkake! I just made some butter cookies the other day that came out like hockey pucks but they were flavored well. That'll teach me for trying a recipe that wasn't in Group Recipes! Even our city crows wouldn't touch the ones I made! Your recipe looks so much better and if you say they're good, they must be good! Can't wait to try them! And thank you! Again, enjoy your new home!
