Bake, then top them with a quick royal icing to give them a professionally finished look &#8211; without the effort, I promise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve never tried Christmas Meltaway Cookies, this should be the year! You\u2019ll have gorgeous looking, gorgeous tasting cookies in less about an hour!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are Meltaway Cookies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meltaway cookies are named for their incredibly smooth and buttery texture that melts in your mouth. They have a delicate consistency with a deliciously sweet flavor. Meltaway cookies are often decorated with frosting or royal icing, so they can quickly be customized for events and holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Do I Store Meltaway Cookies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Meltaway cookies can be kept at room temperature for up to a week. Store them in an airtight container on the cupboard and they will stay soft and fresh. Thankfully, they certainly won't last that long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-5-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"christmas cookies on a green plate with a red cloth and coffee cup\" class=\"wp-image-20797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-5-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-5-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-5-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-5-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-5-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Freeze Meltaway Cookies?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can freeze meltaway cookies! They can be frozen after they\u2019ve been frosted, but for best results, freeze them before covering them with royal icing. Place the cookies in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag or an airtight container with some plastic wrap pushed down around the cookies. They\u2019ll stay fresh for 3 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can I Use Instead of Royal Icing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a container of frosting in the cupboard, you can use that instead. Scoop about half your frosting into a wide, microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 15-second increments, stirring between each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The frosting will get smooth and become more liquid in consistency. Simply dip your cooled cookies in the frosting and allow them to dry. You can add sprinkles while the frosting is wet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-4-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"christmas meltaway cookies on a green plate with a pinecone\" class=\"wp-image-20796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-4-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-4-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-4-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-4-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-4-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/christmas-meltaway-cookies-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips for Making Christmas Meltaway Cookies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allow your refrigerated ingredients to come to room temperature before you begin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sift your powdered sugar before using it in your batter to prevent lumps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/cappuccino-cookies-recipe\/\">Cappuccino Cookies<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/coconut-melt-cookies-recipe\/\">Coconut Melt Cookies<\/a><br><a href=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/easy-hanukkah-cookies\/\">Easy Hanukkah Cookies<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don\u2019t try to frost these cookies before they\u2019re cool!
