Melting Moments

These melt in your mouth cookies are the perfect mix of simplicity and deliciousness. Melting moments are a sure favorite this holiday season! 

     Hasn't 12 days of Cookies been fun so far?  There are so many great varieties and inspiration from all around the world.  I don't know about you, but I have found plenty of recipes to add to my must make list.


    If only the holiday baking season were a bit longer and there were a few more hours in the day, I could have the best cookie trays in all of the land filled with a few of each of these marvelous cookies.  I suppose there is always next year!

     These melting moments are a breeze to make.  They are a lot like the classic snowball cookies, but without the pecans.  You can certainly roll them in powdered sugar if you like, or they are great with a simple powdered sugar glaze and a few sprinkles.

    You don't have to do anything too fancy to make them stand out.  Let their buttery melt in your mouth texture do all of the talking.

    My little guy LOVED these cookies.  He kept picking out his favorites and setting them aside for later.  Needless to say none of them hit our trays for sharing.

    I may have to make another couple of batches when he is napping sometime if we want to have some left to share!

So now these are a Christmas favorite at our house. We make a batch along with other new favorites like frostbite cookies and peppermint mocha shortbread cookies. Then throw in a few classics like iced sugar cookies and kolacky.

What are some must make Christmas cookies at your house? We're always ready to find new favorites!
