These would make a great gift for anyone or a perfect addition to any party. And they require so few ingredients that they are highly economical. I'm keeping this recipe around for future baby showers (think pink and blue fillings) or other special occasions.
Christmas Sandwich Cremes
from Taste of Home's "Food Gifts"
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- sugar for coating
- Filling:
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
- 2 t. vanilla extract
- food coloring
In a small bowl, combine the butter, cream, and flour. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours or until dough is easy to handle.
Divide into thirds; let one portion stand at room temperature for 15 minutes (keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll out). 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 at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until set. Cool on wire racks.
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.
