Another Christmas cookie. These are very fragile, and the yield depends on how carefully you roll them out and whether any break - trust me, they're worth it. Prep time includes mixing, cooling, and assembling time.(Oh, and pay no attention to the nutritional information behind the curtain - you're happier not knowing). Ingredients:
1 cup butter |
1/3 cup heavy cream |
2 cups flour |
granulated sugar |
1/4 cup butter |
3/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 teaspoon almond extract |
food coloring |
Directions:
1. Blend 1 cup butter, cream, and flour and chill thoroughly.
2. Roll the dough out to 1/8-inch and cut out circles using a small (~11/2 inch) circular cookie cutter.
3. Press both sides of the circles into granulated sugar.
4. Place the circles on baking parchment on a baking sheet and bake 7-9 minutes at 375°.
5. Place on a flattened grocery bag and cool completely.
6. Meanwhile, combine the remaining 1/4 cup butter, powdered sugar, almond, and food coloring and blend thoroughly to make frosting.
7. To assemble the cookies, gently frost the underside of 2 cookies to make a sandwich.
