What You'll Need
- 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, softened
- 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
What to Do
- In a medium-sized bowl, cream together filling ingredients: butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract, until smooth and fluffy. Cover and chill until ready to use.
- Meanwhile, in another medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup butter, heavy cream, and flour, mixing thoroughly. Cover and chill for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Divide dough into quarters, then remove one quarter at a time from refrigerator and do the following: Roll it to a 1/8-inch thickness on a floured board. Cut flattened dough into 1-1/2-inch circles. Use a spatula to transfer rounds to a piece of waxed paper that has been heavily covered with granulated sugar. Turn each round so that both sides are coated with sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Poke each round with a fork 3 or 4 times.
- Bake 7 to 9 minutes, or until set but not brown. When cooled, make a sandwich by placing a dollop of filling between 2 cookies. Repeat until all cookies and cream have been combined.
