Shortbread vs Melting Moment Cookies

The ingredients are more or less the same for both types of recipes. However, Shortbread Recipes generally use caster sugar rather than icing sugar. Which is what this recipe uses.

How to Make Melting Moments Biscuits

• 

• 

Once you have your oven on and Preheating, get a baking sheet ready and lined with a silicone baking sheet or baking parchment.

Cream the butter and icing sugar together until well combined. This will only take a couple of mins if the butter is soft enough. By that, I mean soft enough to spreading consistency.

Add the flour, cornflour, and salt. Mix everything together to form a smooth firm dough. Shape into small, walnut sized pieces.

Place these onto the prepared baking sheet. If you want to be exact, weight the dough first. Then divide into equal weights.

Before baking. Decorate each Melting Moment Biscuit, by gently pressing them down with the back of a fork. Bake in the centre of the oven for 15 - 20 mins. Or until baked.

They won't have a dark golden baked colour and may still feel slightly soft as you take them out of the oven. But they will firm up once cooled.

Dust with caster sugar and leave to cool completely.

For real decadence, you could make some Mini Melting Moments with a chocolate filling.

Notes:

• If you're particular about making each Melting Moment of equal size. Weigh the whole dough then divide into equal portions.
• If you chose to make them larger, you'll need to adjust the baking times and cook them a little longer. But only by a few minutes.
• When using butter, there's no need to add any Vanilla Extract either. Let the buttery flavour shine through.
• Having cornflour in the recipe gives these biscuits a nice light, melt in the mouth texture.
• If you don't have corn flour, use plain flour instead
