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
We first had these in a nearby town known as "Little Sweden". I purchased a cookbook which luckily had the original recipe within! There are other melting moment recipes, but most use cornstarch. These are the real deal - and truly will melt in your mouth! Always a crowd pleaser!

Steps:
- Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar.
- Roll into balls the size of ping-pong balls.
- Place on cookie sheet and flatted to about 1/2 inch.
- Bake at 425* for just a few minutes until the edges just begin to show color (really watch them closely!) When cool, frost with the icing mixture on the FLAT side- to create a sandwich cookie.
- (You can just frost the cookie tops to double the cookie total. Also, you may substitute almond extract and a touch of red coloring for the cherry juice).
ORIGINAL BE-RO MELTING MOMENTS-AFTERNOON TEA BISCUITS OR COOKIES
These are great little "light as a feather" and meltingly crisp English style biscuits, or cookies. This recipe is the slightly adapted recipe from the Be-Ro Flour cookbook - they suggest lard, but I don't "do" lard! Melting Moments ALWAYS made an appearance on my grandmother and mum's afternoon tea table, and we also had them popped into our lunch boxes for school. The recipe is SO easy to rustle up and they stay crisp and fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight tin. You can roll them in coconut or oats, I prefer coconut - but I am sure they would be just as nice with oats, which is a suggested alternative. Children and "big children" love these, and they really are melting moments, great with a cuppa English tea!

Steps:
- Heat oven to 180ºC, 350ºF, Gas Mark 4. Grease two baking trays.
- Cream the butter or margarine with the sugar until very light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla essence or extract.
- Stir in the flour and mix well.
- Roll walnut sized pieces of the mixture into balls and toss in rolled oats or desiccated coconut.
- Cut each glace cherry into quarters, for quarter for each melting moment.
- Place on baking trays, flatten slightly and place a small piece of cherry on each biscuit. Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown but NOT dark brown.
- N.B. To help shape "ball" type biscuits, slightly dampen the hands.
Tips:
- Properly measure ingredients: Use a kitchen scale to accurately measure ingredients for precise results.
- Use quality ingredients: High-quality butter, chocolate, and flour will yield better tasting cookies.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Roll the dough thinly: Rolling the dough to a thin even thickness ensures uniform baking.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: Baking the cookies at too high a temperature can cause them to burn, while baking them at too low a temperature can result in undercooked cookies.
- Let the cookies cool completely: Allow the cookies to cool completely before filling them, as the filling may melt if the cookies are still warm.
- Use a variety of fillings: Experiment with different fillings such as buttercream, ganache, or jam to create unique and delicious cookies.
Conclusion:
Melting Moments are a classic and versatile cookie recipe that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you prefer them plain, filled, or dipped in chocolate, these cookies are sure to satisfy your sweet tooth. With careful attention to detail and a little bit of practice, you can create perfect Melting Moments that will impress your friends and family. Happy baking!
