If you've never baked or tried meltaway cookies, you have to make these. They're easy to do and so yummy. They just melt away in your mouth like magic, and have a wonderful bright raspberry almond flavor.

Ingredients

• Cookies:
• 1 c. butter, softened
• 3/4 c. cornstarch
• 3/4 c. powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 t. almond extract
• 1 c. all-purpose flour
• Vanilla Glaze:
• 3 T. butter
• 1/2 t. vanilla extract
• 3 T. milk
• 1 c. powdered sugar
• 2-3 T. seedless red raspberry jam

Steps

1. Mix butter and cornstarch together until well combined; add in powdered sugar and almond extract; mix until smooth. Add flour; mix until dough comes together and flour is incorporated. Cover; refrigerate 10-15 minutes.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
3. Scoop out about 1/2 T. dough using a small scoop. Roll into a ball; lay on parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Place dough balls out 4 across in 5 rows, fitting about 20 cookies per sheet. Bake 9 minutes. Remove from oven; immediately flatten the tops of each cookie by gently pressing down with the bottom of a glass. Let sit for 2 minutes before transferring parchment to a cooling rack.
