Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until fully incorporated.
Combine the Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt to the butter mixture. Mix until the dough comes together and is soft, but not sticky.
Optional: Add Chocolate Chips:
If you’re adding chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough for an extra sweet surprise in every bite!
Shape the Logs:
Take small pieces of dough (about a tablespoon’s worth) and roll them into logs, roughly 2 inches long. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one as they will spread a little.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges of the logs are lightly golden. Keep an eye on them so they don’t brown too much—they should stay soft and melt-in-your-mouth!
Cool and Enjoy:
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, these Melting Moment Logs are ready to enjoy! They’re perfect with a hot cup of tea or coffee. Happy baking! 🍪✨
