I have been making these cookies for many many years. My husband and children don't think it's Christmas until I make these.

I saw this recipe and had to give it a try. What a great little cookie!!! I love the taste and I found it much easier to fill by putting the frosting in a plastic bag, snipping the end and piping it on. I'll be making another batch to take to a Christmas party. They'll be a hit for sure.

I first saw this recipe in my 1969 Betty Crocker cookbook. We weren't sure how they would turn out when we first tried them, but the recipe is now a family favorite! The wafers are light and tender, and the filling is delicate and creamy. The filling can be colored to fit any occasion. I dare you to eat just one!

Made these for the first time last year and will quadruple the number of batches this year. Was an instant hit with my husband, children, neighbors, co-workers and friends!

These were pretty and tasted wonderful. My problems with the recipe are my fault. I have a lot of problems getting dough to the correct thickness and for some reason mine turned into ovals instead of circles. Didn't stop me from serving them or people from devouring them.

These were SO good! I will definitely make them again! And I didn't think they were a pain at all!

These cookies are the best I've ever made! But I think instead of spreading the filling, I'm going to pipe it next time... I think it will be easier!

A family friend makes these cookies every year, but we know them as "pain cookies" because they're a pain to make! (Well worth it though.)

maybe you could put a little more whipping cream in to hold them together a little bit.

Dear Cheese - I had the same problem - I really liked the cookies but won't make them again because the dough was too hard to deal with.

Novice cook here -- I just tried my first batch of these, and the cookies themselves just fall apart. They taste great, but aren't holding together. any clue what I did wrong?

Hello, These are perfect for any occasion. To speed up the filling process, I line 1/2 the cookies bottom sides up on a waxpaper lined kitchen towel and apply filling using my decorator bag and a star tip. The filling drops quickly and evenly on each. Simply put cooky tops on, and presto, you're finished a lot quicker.

I used to make these for weddings. Just tint the filling to match the bridal color.

These are my family's favorite! I make them ahead and freeze them with no problem.

I make these cookies all the time. The cookie dough can also be colored (light pink or green) for christmas. For the filling I use 1 egg yolk and confectioners sugar. So, So smooth.

do you think these can be made ahead of time and be sealed up in a tupperware type of container? I am hesitant due to the whipping cream in the filling. OR should they just be refrigerated

It seems to me these cookies are meant to have the plain buttery flavor and the sweetness comes from the sugar sprinkle and filling.

Reviewed on Dec. 05, 2008 by taffysugar

Has the sugar been omitted in the dough due to the sprinkle on the unbaked cookie and the sweet filling or did the author simply forget to include it in the recipe?

They sound terrible, no sugar in the dough!

I have made this recipe which we call Swedish Cream Wafers for almost 40 years. My family has made it for many,many years before that and everyone always raves about it. For us it would not be Christmas without this cookie!! Small is definitely better!

Re: Cream Wafers...Awesome cookie, they actually do melt in your mouth. I used the small hole cutter used for the hole of a donut. When iced and put together they are really cute. i'm now on my 2nd batch!

Many years ago I made these cookies for the dessert table at a friend's wedding. I believe I dusted them with powdered sugar after cooling, rather than sugar before baking. They are wonderfully easy, tasty and pretty. Thanks for helping me to "reconnect" with a recipe I'd lost track of! Blessings...Jill

I've had this receipe for years and I make about 10-12 batches at Xmas as so many friends and family ask for them. They are the only cookie I make as it is time consuming rolling them out and frosting them. I entered them in a cookie contest in Lawrenceburg, IN and they won 1st prize.

When we tested this cookie recipe in the Test Kitchen, they instantly became one of my favorite Christmas cookies. I remember I walked them around, here at Taste of Home, for my co-workers to try. They're perfect for cookie trays!  The cookie base is so tender and creamy center is delightful. The centers can be colored to suite any holiday. Delicious and special!

These are THE best. They melt in your mouth. I usually end up making about 6+ batches of these during the holiday's.
