Cream Wafers

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup all-purpose flour

3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream

Sugar

filling:

1/4 cup butter, softened

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1-1/2 to 2 teaspoons heavy whipping cream

1 drop each red and green food coloring

Directions

In a small bowl, beat butter, flour and cream. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until easy to handle.

Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 1-1/4-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with sugar. Prick each cookie 3-4 times with a fork.

Bake 7-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.

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