Lemon Melts

This is a recipe from Madeleine and its my favorite so far. It's a pain in the butt to roll the dough but these are delicious and worth the effort.

  • 1 1/2 cups butter softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups cornstarch (yes that's not a typo)
  • 2 1/2 cups flour

Cream this mixure together. It will be crumbly. Roll into walnut size balls and place on greased cookie sheet or parchment paper. Bake at 325 degrees for 12-15 minutes. Do not brown.

Cool these on the cookie sheet. Don't try to move them they'll fall apart and shatter.

When cooled frost with:

  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/2 lb of powdered sugar (1 1/2-2 cups)
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon

Makes about 60 cookies and they won't last long trust me on that.
