From Walkerton, Ontario, Janice Poechman sent in the recipe for these melt-in-your-mouth sandwich cookies with a scrumptious filling. I helped my sister make these in high school when she needed a project in her home economics class, jots Janice. She got an A+! Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
sugar |
filling: |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
food coloring |
Directions:
1. In a small bowl, combine the butter, cream and flour. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
2. Divide into thirds; let one portion stand at room temperature for 15 minutes (keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll out). Preheat oven to 375°. On a floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a 1-1/2-in. round cookie cutter. Place cutouts in a shallow dish filled with sugar; turn to coat. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Prick with a fork several times. Bake 7-9 minutes or until set. Cool on wire racks.
3. For filling, in a small bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Tint with food coloring. Spread about 1 teaspoon filling over half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Yield: 4 dozen.
