Meltaway Cookies

Meltaways

2 sticks butter, softened         ¾ cup cornstarch

1/3 cup pwd sugar                  1 cup flour

Mix together and drop by the teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. (Note from mom--I dip bottom of glass in powdered sugar to flatten slightly.) Make sure they are small.  Bake 10 minutes at 350.  Frost when almost cool. 

Frosting:

1 cup pwd sugar

3 oz pkg cream cheese

1 tsp vanilla

food coloring (optional)

Soften cream cheese and mix with other ingredients.  Add any color of food coloring desired.  Let frosted cookies set before storing.

(Note from Kimberly Beifuss) A few tips (since I have made this dozens of times)...it is worth the effort, but is time consuming...the last item about cooling...its important to let it cool 10 minutes before putting it on the wire rack.. and the time for cooling on the wire rack-I'd say at least 30 minutes, if not closer to an hour or longer (i personally think the longer they cool, the better they are...I personally think sometimes the second day they are even better) Enjoy!!
