Meltaway Cookies

This "sweet treat" was submitted by Missy Aldridge.
2 sticks butter
3/4 cup cornstarch
1/3 cup powdered sugar
1 cup flour

Beat butter; add cornstarch, flour and powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Drop from teaspoons on ungreased cookie sheet. (Make very small cookies). Bake at 350 for 12 minutes. Using a decorating bag and tip (#21 Star Tip), place a dollop of frosting on top. (These will look better if you roll the dough into balls.)

Cream Cheese Frosting
8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
1 stick Butter or Margarine, softened
1 box Powdered Sugar (4 cups)
1 teaspoon vanilla

To make the frosting thick enough to use a decorating tip, extra powdered sugar will need to be added (amount of powdered sugar will be almost doubled.) Half this recipe is enough for 2 recipes of the Meltaway Cookies.
