Melting moments cookie

This cookie can be considered as a version of nankatta or butter biscuit, with a lighter texture. I got this recipe from the baking site. The following recipe makes about 50 small cookies. Half or double for your use.

All purpose flour or maida - 1 1/2 cups
Corn starch - 1/2 cup
Powdered or icing sugar - 1/4 + about 1/2 cup
Butter - 2 sticks or 1 cup (in room temperature)
Vanilla extract - 1 tsp
salt - a pinch


In a bowl mix together flour, corn starch and salt.
In another bowl beat butter and sugar powder until creamy.
Mix in vanilla extract.
Add in the flour mixture and mix until everything is just blended well.
Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours to make batter firm.

Preheat oven to 350F.
Butter or spray a baking sheet.
Make small balls from the firm batter and place them on the baking sheet 1 inch apart.
Bake for 10 to 15 minutes or until the edges of the cookie just start to brown.
Remove and cool for 5 minutes.
Dust them with icing sugar.
Enjoy.
