Just Call Me Paula Dean (Part 2)


Cream Wafers
The buttery flaky crust literally melts in your mouth! And of course there's more butter in the frosting. Soooo yummy!

Dough:
2 c. flour
1 c. unsalted butter, softened
1/3 c. heavy cream
(You'll need regular sugar to lightly coat dough later.)


Frosting:
1/4 c. unsalted butter, softened
1 egg yoke
3/4 c. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
(add red or green food coloring)


1. Mix dough ingredients and chill for 1 hour.
2. Roll out dough with flour and cut with baby food jar dipped in flour.
3. Dip each dough circle in sugar (both sides).
4. Place on cookie sheet close together and jag with a fork 4 times. (This makes a squared pattern.)
5. Bake at 375 for 6-8 minutes. Do not overbake!
6. When cooled, fill with frosting and sandwich together.

(Makes about 2 dozen.)

You are really taking me down memory lane with all these cookies. I had such good times learning to make all these from Grandma Ruth.

I'll have to try these sometime - they look so good. BTW, I made your recipe for the "everything" cookies and they were very yummy. Thanks for posting all these cookie recipes...I love to try out new ones!
