Assorted Melting Moments

A perennial favourite, these buttery little treats will bring back memories of taking licking the cream and the biscuits. It'a a very easy to make cookies which take about 30 minutes to prepare. For these Assorted Melting Moments, I used butter cream, coffee cream and chocolate cream.




Ingredients: (makes about 25)
250g Butter
80g Icing Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence
75g Cornflour
225g Plain Flour

Methods:
1. Preheat the oven to about 170 degree and line baking trays with baking paper.
2. Beat the butter, sifted icing sugar mixture and vanilla with an electric mixer until pale.
3. Stir in the combined sifted flours in two batches.
4. With lightly floured hands, roll two level teaspoons of mixture into balls and place on oven tray about 3cm apart.
5. Dip a fork into a little extra flour and press down lightly onto each biscuits to flatten slightly.
6. Bake in oven for about 20 minutes or until biscuits are a pale straw colour.
7. Stand the biscuit on the trays for 5 minutes then transfer to wire racks to cool.

Butter Cream:
80g Butter
100g Icing Sugar
1 Teaspoon Finely Grated Lemon Rind
1 Teaspoon Lemon Juice

Methods:
1. Beat the butter, sifted icing sugar mixture and rind in a small bowl with an electric mixer until pale and fluffy.
2. Beat in the juice.
3. To serve, sandwich two biscuits with a teaspoon of the cream and dust with a little extra sifted icing sugar.
