Christmas Cream Wafers

December 15th, 2008

Very similar recipe to the Swedish Tea Cookies, but this one’s a tad “heavier”. Still sure to be a Christmas treat that everyone will want more of!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions:

• Mix flour and 1 cup of butter or margarine thoroughly. Stir in whipping cream and mix well. Chill 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Roll dough 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured board. Cut into 1 1/2 inch rounds. Transfer to waxed paper heavily sprinkled with sugar, turning to coat both sides. Place on un- greased baking sheet. Prick in 4 places with fork. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until slightly puffed. Put two cooled cookies together with filling.
• To Make Filling: Blend 1/4 cup soft butter, 3/4 cup sifted confectioners’ sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tsp. vanilla. If desired, tint with food coloring.
