Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, softened
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, softened (for filling)
• 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 as needed Food coloring (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour and 0.5 cup of softened unsalted butter. Mix until the mixture is crumbly.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to the mixture and stir until a dough forms.

Step 3

Divide the dough into two portions, wrap them in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or until firm.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

Step 5

On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of the dough to about 1/8-inch thick.

Step 6

Using a 1.5-inch round cookie cutter, cut out shapes from the dough and place them on the prepared baking sheets.

Step 7

Sprinkle granulated sugar over the tops of the cut-out cookies.

Step 8

Prick each cookie 2-3 times with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until the edges are just starting to turn golden. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

In a small bowl, make the filling by beating 0.25 cup of softened unsalted butter, 1 cup of powdered sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. If desired, add food coloring to tint the filling.

Step 11

Spread about 0.5 teaspoon of the filling on the flat side of one cookie, then top with another cookie to make a sandwich. Repeat with remaining cookies and filling.

Step 12

Store the assembled cream wafers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
