Melting Moments

When i was chatting with my elder daughter, who is in Malaysia, she said that momentarily she misses me and especially during the Chinese New Year, she misses 'Melting Moments' . Guilt ridden, I have to make a batch of these melt-in-your-mouth texture cookies

We used to call them cornflake cookies as we often rolled them in lightly crushed cornflakes or oats cookies when rolled in oats . Either way they are delicious and must always be topped with glace cherry.

Ingredients:

5 ozs soft butter

3 ozs fine granulated sugar

1 tsp of vanilla extract

5 ozs self rising flour

Desiccated coconut

Glace cherries

Method:

Heat the oven to 350 f.

Cream the butter with the sugar until very light and fluffy.

Beat in the vanilla extract.

Stir in the flour and mix well.

Roll walnut sized pieces of the mixture into balls and toss in dessicated coconut.

Cut each glace cherry into quarters, a quarter for each melting moment.

Place on silpat lined baking trays, flatten slightly and place a small piece of cherry on each cookie.

Bake for 10-15 minutes until golden brown .
