Meltaways....exactly that.

You know those Busken Bakery tea cookies with the dollop of colored icing on top? Yeah, well these are those.....but on steroids and better!  Yes, I just compared myself to Busken Bakery, and yes I said I was better. Trying to stay humble, but I am just too fabulous to do so.  Mind you, these were very simple to make and called for very few ingredients.  And like myself, you'll probably have to go to the store and buy a new jar of cornstarch because the recipe calls for 3/4 cup of cornstarch. WHAT?! Normally a recipe called for like 1 teaspoon. Shoot. Anyways, I'm keeping this short and sweet. Enjoy these bad boys!
                                              
Ingredients:
For the cookie: 
1 cup butter 
3/4 cup cornstarch
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
 
For the frosting: 
3oz. cream cheese - softened 
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:
For the cookie:

-Drop by small teaspoons onto baking sheet & flatten out with the bottom of a class. (Dip glass in powdered sugar to prevent sticking).
