Best 4 Aussie Melting Moments Recipes

MELTING MOMENTS (BUTTER COOKIES)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat, and set aside.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the butter, vanilla, and sugar until creamy and combined.
• Add the cornflour, flour, and salt, and mix to form a smooth, soft dough.
• Roll the dough into small 0.7oz balls, and place them onto the prepared baking tray. Press them down with the tines of a fork. Freeze until solid - about 10 - 20 minutes.
• Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until firm and just starting to colour around the edges (they'll still be very pale). Allow to cool for 5 - 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

MELTING MOMENTS (CORNSTARCH COOKIES OR BUTTER COOKIES)

Steps:

• In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and confectioners' sugar.
• In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer cream the butter until smooth and lighter in color. Add the dry ingredients and mix until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
• Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet with about 2 inches of spacing between the cookies.
• Press down firmly to flatten the cookies using a dampened fork. Bake in the middle of your oven's center rack for 18-20 minutes or until the cookie bottoms just begin to turn a light golden color.
• Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar once cooled (or the sugar will melt) if desired.

MELTING MOMENTS/ AUSTRALIA

Steps:

• Biscuits.

• Lightly butter and flour a baking tray and preheat the oven to 325°F
• Make a ball from a level dessert spoon of the mixture and place on the tray, allowing room for the biscuits to spread. Repeat with remaining mixture.
• Dip a fork into some flour, knocking off any excess and make an imprint with the tines, flattening the biscuits a little.
• Place the tray on the centre shelf of the oven and bake slowly until the biscuits are just coloured, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Remove from the oven with a spatula and place the biscuits on cake rack.
• To make icing:.
• Beat the butter with a wooden spoon. Add the powdered sugar and beat until the sugar is almost absorbed with the butter. Add the vanilla and salt and with the addition of a little boiling water, bring to a thick and creamy consistency, balancing with a little more powdered sugar if necessary.
• To finish the biscuits, join 2 biscuits together with a tsp of icing spread with a knife. Return to a cooling rack until the icing is completely set before removing to an airtight container.
