These are the classic cookie for weddings. And so delicious, delicate. I've been making these for years and always rolled them out, what a pain.... such good advice to roll them into logs and cut them into slices! It made the whole process way easier.

Instead of rolling out the dough, I make the dough into several logs, wrap them in waxed paper or plastic wrap...refrigerate until solid and then cut the logs into 1/4" slices. You can use dental floss to cut these instead of a knife...they keep their shape better instead of getting squished. Really saves time!!

This is pretty easy to make. I found it only made 14 sandwich cookies though. I think the printed cookie count is for the cookies prior to being assembled. I flavored the filling with raspberry and lime. I also had to extend the cooking time to 14 minutes.

This cookie is so light and airy and the filling is very light too...just the right amount of sweetness! Actually, I'm making this frosting recipe a "must have" in my cookbook!!!

There is no sugar in the "wafer" part, so they aren't super sweet, but the cream filling makes these pretty good for something different. You could change the coloring up, too, for different holidays if you like. I would possibly make it again.

Always make a double batch! They freeze well and you will be a superstar everywhere you bring these...assuming you share them, that is.

I've been making this recipe for several years and it is one of my favorite all-time cookies. My husband and kiddos love it! The only problem is I can stop eating them! That and it takes some time to assemble. One tip I would share that saved me A LOT of time this year: Pipe the frosting on one cookie and then sandwich the two sides together. Also, I used some leftover crushed peppermints as a topping for some of them. They are really tasty and pretty!

These cookies are a family tradition - my grandma made these for my dad when he was growing up, and my mom made them for me and my dad as I was growing up. These are a little time consuming and require a gentle touch, but they are so worth it!

I have made these cookies for more years than I want to admit to and I still love them. When my son went to college this is the only sweet he wantd out of all the goodies that I make at the holidays. They are awsome.

These are lovely and will become a tradition. I think I'll experiment with a little lemon flavoring in the frosting for a change. Good to see another Vincennes baker.

I received this recipe from a friend back in the early 80's and loved it then,it does take some time to make and assemble them, but they are worth it. I have gotten married since i got this recipe and make them for my husband now, who asks for them to be made at xmas time. I thought it was pretty neat when I seen it in one of the taste of home fliers that come with my books every other month.

These have become our traditional Christmas cookie and are always on the cookie trays I make for gifts to family. They are a favorite cookie, very light and tasty. The only problem is they are hard to quit eating!
