Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies

[linda1234567 10]

My girls' dance teacher gave me this recipe so I can't take credit. It only has THREE ingredients!

1 cup butter, softened

1/2 cup icing sugar

1 1/2 cups flour (I included some leftover potato flour that I had in the cupboard and you could probably combine in rice flour too)

Mix all ingredients in a bowl. Mix for at least 10 minutes! Put on a baking stone, cookie sheet, what have you, in a 300F oven for 10-15 mins. The smaller the cookie the less time it needs (my 1 tsp cookies only took 9 mins).

I made about 48 1-tsp sized cookies, they pretty much hold their shape, meaning they don't melt flat like choc-chip cookies.

They do melt in your mouth and you can't eat just one. My waistline can attest to that!

What is Icing Sugar? I never heard that term.

Sounds good.

We call it Icing sugar - that we use to make icing. It ever occurred to me that other places would call it anything different - you learn something new every day!

Here's info from Yahoo answers:

"Icing sugar or confectioners sugar, or extra fine sugar, it basically sugar ground up so fine that it is a powder, also known as powdered sugar now that I think about it, like on some types of donuts. If you can't find any you can get the finest sugar you can find and blend it up in a blender."

Hope that cleared it up.

Yes, that does clear it up. Down here (Georgia, USA) they label the bags as confectioners sugar. Thank you very much for clearing that up.

I'm going to try your recipe.

Thank you. Darlene

I do a very similar cookie here (same recipe) but I add different extracts for variety. I usually add a dash of vanilla and a dash of almond extract..and then I dust all of the cookies with powdered sugar.
