Tips:

  • Use unsalted butter: Salted butter can make your melting moments too salty, so it's best to use unsalted butter and add a pinch of salt to taste.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the mixture, making your melting moments light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the mixture from curdling.
  • Stir in the flour and cornstarch until just combined: Overmixing will make your melting moments tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will help to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are just beginning to brown: Overbaking will make your melting moments dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before filling: This will help to prevent the filling from making the cookies soggy.

Melting moments are a classic biscuit that is perfect for any occasion. They are light, fluffy, and filled with a delicious creamy filling.
