“My sons used to help me make these cookies, and now my oldest granddaughter helps. When the smaller grandchildren are home, they help, too,” writes Linda Clinkenbeard of Vincennes, Indiana. The cute little sandwich cookies are tender, buttery and melt-in-your-mouth good!

Cream Wafers Recipe

Prep: 25 min. + chilling Bake: 10 min./batch + cooling

Yield: 24 Servings

25 10 35

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 the butter, flour and cream. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
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 at 375° for 7-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.
In a small bowl, combine the 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. Yield: 2 dozen.

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!
