One of Mother's "famous" Christmas cookie contributions was the "Melting Moment."
I know these are seriously out of fashion... but I don't care...
The texture is sooooooooo different from most cookies... because of the cornstarch. But it's the very, very lemony glaze that's the game changer.
Try them... and let me know!
