Here's a recipe for Melting Snowflake cookies from American Family Cookbook 
copyright 1974:

1/3 cup butter, chilled
1 cup sifted all purpose flour
2 egg yolks
1 teaspoon cream
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
egg white, slighly beaten

1. Cut butter into flour until particles are the size of rice kernels
2. Beat egg yolks, cream and extract until very thick. Using a fork, blend into 
flour mixture in halves, mixing well after each addition.  Chill dough 
thoroughly.
3. Roll dough 1/4 inch thick on a floured surface; fold lengthwise in half, 
then cross-wise in half; chill one hour. 4. Again, roll dough 1/4 inch thick. 
Cut with 1 1/4 inch round cutter.  Transfer to ungreased cookie sheets.  Brush 
rounds with egg white.
5. Bake at 350F about 20 minutes. Remove cookies to wire racks and sift with 
vanilla confections sugar.
