Ingredients

• FOR THE COOKIE:
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1/3 cup whipping cream
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• granulated sugar
• FOR THE FILLING:
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
• food coloring

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Mix together the butter, whipping cream and flour. Form the dough into a disk, and chill for at least an hour.

Roll a small portion of the dough at a time out to 1/8-inch thickness.

Using a 1-inch round cookie cutter, cut rounds out of all of the dough, and drop each dough piece into granulated sugar and coat both sides with the sugar.

Place the rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet and prick each round 4 times with a fork.

Bake for 7 to 9 minutes (dough should not brown).

ICING:
Mix together all icing ingredients. Tint the icing with food coloring, if desired. Using a decorating bag, pipe a small amount of icing onto a round, then top it with another round to make a sandwich cookie.

Keep cookies refrigerated.

Single batch makes 8 dozen completed cookies.

2015 - Made 2 double batches - just the right amount.
2017 - Made one double batch. It was enough.
