Melting Moments Biscuits
Ingredients
- 500g butter
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 cup cornflour
- 3 cups cake flour (as needed to make a soft depending on climate)
- 1 tsp fine salt
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients in a mixer or blender. Add the butter first, followed by icing sugar, and cornstarch and salt.
- Lastly, add the cake flour on top. At this point, I remove the mixture into another bowl and slowly add the cake flour to reach the desired consistency of the dough.
- If you prefer using the mixer or food processor, follow the next step.
- Mix until the ingredients are well combined and clear from the side of the mixing bowl.
- Place small balls or pipe cookies onto baking paper on baking tray.
- Bake at 180 degrees celcius for 12-15 minutes.
- Once baked, leave to cool completely before decorating with melted chocolate and/nuts.
Notes
Keep the cookie dough in the refrigerator for a few minutes if it becomes too soft to handle. The dough will turn soft if you leave it at room temperature during summer.
I added some coarsely ground nuts to my dough as per the photograph. Once you get used to consistency of the dough, you may add other ingredients for variations.
Always maintain a soft dough.
