Have you ever tasted a Mini Melt Away cookie before?Β If you haven’t you are definitely missing out because they are so yummy! Melt in your mouth kind of good…literally!Β Not only are these charming little cookiesΒ tasty, they are also perfect for many occasions! I would love to serve these at a wedding, lunch-in, or birthday party. Also, I think they would beΒ exceptionallyΒ fitting for a little girls tea party! You really can coordinate them to fit any occasion by simply changing the color of the frosting to suit your fancy! Make it with me!
The added cornstarch to this recipe is what makes these cookies melt! Seriously, once it comes in contact with your tong, the cookie just melts away! Hence, the name! So easy to throw together and they look perfect for every event! It’s one of my favorite recipes to cater with!
You can frost these cookies one of two ways! Totally depends on preference! You can brush the frosting on the cookies with a knife or you can put the frosting in a piping bag and pipe it on the cookies. Both options work great! It’s up to personal preference!
