Meltaway Cookies aka Heaven on Earth

I've been to Heaven and my husband and kids came too!  My heaven on earth came in the form of a cookie, yes I said a cookie.  One of the rewards of being a Pinterest fanatic are the tasty treats that are created from my repins....delightful!  These cookies are the easiest I've ever made and require only 5 ingredients, simple as getting out of bed in the morning.  The icing is very, very sweet so I recommend leaving some plain because sometimes plain is better!

Meet my new friend the Meltaway Cookie :)


Meltaways

1 C. butter
¾ C. cornstarch
¾ C. powdered sugar
1 C. flour
1 recipe Cream Cheese Frosting (see below)

In a medium bowl, cream butter until fluffy.  Add cornstarch & sugar and blend well.  Beat in flour until thoroughly mixed.  Drop by small teaspoons onto baking sheet & flatten out with the bottom of a class. (Dip glass in powdered sugar to prevent sticking).  Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes.  Cool on wire rack & frost with Cream Cheese Frosting.
