For cookies that melt in your mouth and bake in just 5 minutes, you might be looking for a recipe that’s super soft and light, often with a short baking time to prevent over-baking. Here’s a quick and simple recipe for cookies that fit your description:
Melt-in-Your-Mouth 5-Minute Cookies
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (for a super soft texture)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy.
- Add the vanilla extract and salt, mixing until combined.
- Gradually add the flour and baking powder, stirring until the dough comes together. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
- Use a spoon to drop small spoonfuls of dough (about 1-inch balls) onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them 2 inches apart. You can also lightly flatten them with a fork for a slightly different texture.
- Bake for 5-6 minutes, or until the edges are just barely golden. The cookies should be soft and delicate, but they’ll firm up as they cool.
- Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These cookies will have a light, crumbly texture that just melts away in your mouth! Enjoy!
