This is a recipe that my mom has had for years. They are delicious small cookies that are so addicting. We made them recently, and next time we may try adding a little bit of almond extract to the cookie dough.
Cream Wafers
For the cookies, mix:
- 1 C soft butter
- 1/3 C whipping cream
- 2 C flour
Chill for 1 hour.
Roll about 1/8″ thick and cut into 1″ rounds. Dip one side in sugar and prick 4-5 times with a fork. (Or place on ungreased cookie sheet and sprinkle with sugar then prick with the fork.) Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees for 7-8 minutes.
For the filling, cream:
- 1/2 C butter
- 1 1/2 C powdered sugar
- a few drops of milk
- about 1/4 tes. vanilla
- A few drops of food coloring (red)
Put filling in a pastry bag and extract some on half of the cooled cookies. Place another cookie on top. We just used a knife to put a little filling on the cookies.
