Melting Moment Cookies

 How cute are these little guys? These sweet little butterballs are the perfect cookie for just about any occasion. They are a staple in my families Christmas cookie repertoire, but they would fit right in at a tea party, baby shower or inside a cookie jar. Gone in about two bites, they melt in your mouth and thus the name!

 Keep in mind when you make these, each sandwich requires two cookies. I always worry I've made too many, until you place them together and halve the amount. Not that you can ever have too many cookies ;)
