Melting Moments image

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!

Time 13m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup butter (please don't substitute!)
2 cups flour
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 tablespoons maraschino cherry juice
2 teaspoons milk
2 -3 cups powdered sugar, to make a thick frosting

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).
