Continuing with the Valentine's menu from 2008, I made these cute little heart-shaped cream wafer sandwich cookies :) These are so easy to make and I find them quite delicious :9 I like making them small and bite-sized, but that might just be my affinity towards small and cute desserts. The only drawback of making them tiny is the sheer amount of time it'll take to get them all in and out of the oven, cooled, and ready to put together. Other than that, I have no issues at all with this recipe!
Cream Wafers
from allrecipes
Ingredients
1 cup butter
1/3 cup heavy cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup granulated sugar for decoration
1/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
1. Mix flour and 1 cup of butter or margarine thoroughly. Stir in whipping cream and mix well. Chill 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Roll dough 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured board. Cut into 1 1/2 inch rounds. Transfer to waxed paper heavily sprinkled with sugar, turning to coat both sides. Place on un- greased baking sheet. Prick in 4 places with fork. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until slightly puffed. Put two cooled cookies together with filling.
4. To Make Filling: Blend 1/4 cup soft butter, 3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tsp. vanilla. If desired, tint with food coloring.
Note: I tinted my filling pink and also used a little raspberry jam in each of my cookies to get the two-colored filling.
