Melting moments FAQ:
Bake the Melting Moments cookies in a preheated oven at 325°F (165°C) for 12-15 minutes. The edges should be just starting to turn golden while the centers remain pale.
The cookies are done when the edges are lightly golden, and the centers should still look pale. They should feel set but soft to the touch.
Yes, you can store Melting Moments cookies. Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
You can substitute the butter with margarine for a dairy-free option. For a gluten-free version, try using a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend in place of the all-purpose flour.
This particular recipe does not include chocolate or cocoa, but you can fold in chocolate chips if desired. For a cocoa version, substitute a portion of the all-purpose flour with unsweetened cocoa powder, but keep in mind this will change the texture.
Tips:
- Ensure that the butter is at room temperature before you start to make it easier to cream with the sugar.
- Use freshly grated orange zest for the best flavor.
- Chill the dough for about 30 minutes before rolling it into balls to prevent the cookies from spreading too much during baking.
- Bake the cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Allow the cookies to cool completely on a wire rack to achieve the best texture.
