Lor / All my dishes 1 year, 3 months ago
These corn starch cookies are so light that they melt in your mouth. They are very popular in Brazil and they obtain their name from the Maizena cornstarch brand.

Ingredients
- 2 cups cornstarch
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1-1/2 sticks of unsalted butter (that equals 12 Tbsp.)
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Sift cornstarch, sugar and salt together, mix the egg and blend in the butter. Knead well.
- Let stand ten to fifteen minutes.
- You can either shape the dough into balls in the palm of your hand and drop them onto a greased cookie sheet or use a cookie press that will make them in different shapes.
- When rolling the dough into balls, use the tines of a fork to flatten somewhat and make grooves on the cookies. They look really pretty. Some people like to shape the cookies into really tiny balls, others prefer them bigger.
- Bake for about 7 minutes, depending on how big you make them.
- Allow the cookies to cool and serve with a wonderful cup of Brazilian coffee.
- I like to make a confectioners' sugar and lemon icing to drizzle on top.
