ORIGINAL BE-RO MELTING MOMENTS-AFTERNOON TEA BISCUITS OR COOKIES
These are great little "light as a feather" and meltingly crisp English style biscuits, or cookies. This recipe is the slightly adapted recipe from the Be-Ro Flour cookbook - they suggest lard, but I don't "do" lard! Melting Moments ALWAYS made an appearance on my grandmother and mum's afternoon tea table, and we also had them popped into our lunch boxes for school. The recipe is SO easy to rustle up and they stay crisp and fresh for up to 5 days in an airtight tin. You can roll them in coconut or oats, I prefer coconut - but I am sure they would be just as nice with oats, which is a suggested alternative. Children and "big children" love these, and they really are melting moments, great with a cuppa English tea!

- Roll walnut sized pieces of the mixture into balls and toss in rolled oats or desiccated coconut.
- Cut each glace cherry into quarters, for quarter for each melting moment.

- N.B. To help shape "ball" type biscuits, slightly dampen the hands.
CAFE STYLE MELTING MOMENTS
These are dirt easy to make and the both look and taste amazing. The only potentially fussy bit is using piping bags, which isn't essential to making a great taste - it's just an 'aesthetic' touch that gives them the cafe style look. This is taken from a great Donna Hay classic. You can play with the fillings a little too if you like.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 180degrees (350F).
- Place the butter, icing sugar and vanilla in a bowl and beat with electric beaters until light and fluffly.
- Stir in the flour and cornflour until combined. The more evenly mixed the ingredients are, the meltier the biscuit so be sure to mix well!
- OPTIONAL:Place all the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a fluted nozzle.
- Pipe 3cm (1inch) rounds onto a baking tray lined with baking paper. Best to start piping by piping the circular outline of the biscuit and working your way in a circular clockwise motion towards the middle of the biscuit. NOTE:If you do not wish to use a piping bag, simply roll balls measuring approx 2 teaspoon full of mixture onto the lined trays. Flatten slightly. Be sure to leave room for spreading. This amount of batter makes approx 32 individual biscuits.
- Cook for 12-14 minutes until biscuits are just golden. They may still look a little soft in the middle but they set upon cooling.
- Cool on trays.
- To make the filling: Place the butter, icing sugar, lemon juice and rind in a bowl and beat with electric beaters until fluffly and creamy. Pipe (or apply with knife) onto half the biscuits and sandwich with the remaining buscuits. Variations on this filling can be done with ORANGE; Replace the lemon juice and lemon rind with the same quantity of orange juice and rind. This can also be done with LIME in the same manner. These also taste good with caramel filling!

Steps:
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and confectioners' sugar.
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer cream the butter until smooth and lighter in color. Add the dry ingredients and mix until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated. Cover and chill for 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and shape the dough into 1-inch balls. Place them onto a parchment paper or silicone mat lined baking sheet with about 2 inches of spacing between the cookies.
- Press down firmly to flatten the cookies using a dampened fork. Bake in the middle of your oven's center rack for 18-20 minutes or until the cookie bottoms just begin to turn a light golden color.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar once cooled (or the sugar will melt) if desired.

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).
Tips:
- Use softened butter: This helps to ensure a smooth and creamy mixture.
- Cream the butter and sugar together thoroughly: This helps to incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy texture.
- Use a fine sieve to sift the flour: This helps to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth batter.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking: This helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This helps to ensure that they bake evenly and do not overcook.
- Let the cookies cool completely before filling: This helps to prevent the filling from seeping out.
- Use a variety of fillings: There are many different types of fillings that can be used for melting moments, such as jam, chocolate ganache, or buttercream.
- Experiment with different flavors: You can add different flavorings to the dough, such as vanilla, almond, or lemon, to create different variations of melting moments.
Conclusion:
Melting moments are a delicious and classic cookie that are perfect for any occasion. With a little bit of planning and care, you can easily make these cookies at home. Just remember to follow the tips above for perfect results.
