Cream Wafers

Ingredients:

½ cup butter, softened
1 cup all purpose flour
2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
Sugar


FILLING:
¼ cup butter, softened
¾ cup confectioners sugar
½ tsp vanilla extract
1 ½-2 tsp heavy whipping cream
1 drop red and green food coloring

1) In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, flour and cream. Cover and refrig for 1 hour or until easy to handle.

2) On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8 in thickness. Cut with floured 1 ¼ in round cookie cutter. Place 1 in apart on ungreased baking sheet. Prick each cookie 3-4 times with a fork and sprinkle with sugar.

3) Bake at 375 for 7-9 min or until set. Cool on wire racks.

4) In a small bowl, combine the butter, confectioners sugar, vanilla and enough cream to achieve desired consistency. Remove half to another bowl; tint with red and green coloring. Carefully spread filling on the bottoms of half of the cookies, top with remaining cookies.
