Hi folks. Apropos to my recent "Melt in your Mouth Cookie" recipe
contribution, here is a similar one from the New Zealand woman's bible, the
Edmonds Cookbook; first edition published in 1955 and reprinted yearly ever
since. (the Edmonds people make baking powders, flours, box cakes and other
related goods) There have been over 3 1/2 million sold and that's the
population of my country. Anyway, to make a long story short, the New
Zealand version is one called: Melting Moments.
Cream butter and icing sugar until fluffy. Sift flour, cornflour and baking
powder together. Mix into creamed mixture, mixing well. Roll dough into
small balls the size of large marbles and place on greased oven tray.
Flatten slightly with fork. Bake at 180 or 350 for twenty minutes. Cool and
if desired, sandwich together with butter icing or jam. Makes 16 pairs or
32 singles.
Butter Icing: Beat all ingredients till smooth.
