Description

Melting moments cookies are a classic cookie that are melt-in-your-mouth delicious. This recipe from Cook's Country is a great way to make this classic treat. It's a simple recipe that produces a cookie with a buttery, crumbly texture and a subtle almond flavor. The texture of the cookie is delicate and melts in your mouth. These cookies are perfect for any occasion, from a party to a tea time snack.

Ingredients

For this recipe you will need:

  • 1 1/2 cups (7 1/2 ounces) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup (5 1/2 ounces) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped

Instructions

To make the cookies, first adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, vanilla extract, and almond extract until combined. Add the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Stir in the almonds.

Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Bake the cookies until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cool the cookies on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Equipment

To make these cookies, you will need the following equipment:

  • A medium bowl
  • A separate bowl
  • A wooden spoon or rubber spatula
  • Two baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • A wire rack

Notes

It is important to use a light touch when mixing the dough. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense cookie. Make sure to use parchment paper when baking the cookies, as they can stick to the baking sheet and be difficult to remove. The cookies should be slightly under-baked, as they will continue to cook on the baking sheet once removed from the oven.
