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! Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Mix butter, flour and powdered sugar.
2. Roll into balls the size of ping-pong balls.
3. Place on cookie sheet and flatted to about 1/2 inch.
4. 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.
5. (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).
