My Aunt Melanie made these at my sisters "wrap it up" baby shower. They were SOOO yummy! Sorry, no picture. They were all gobbled up by the time I thought of it. Drat!
1 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1/3 cup whipping cream
2 cups all-purpose flour
sugar
FILLING:
1/2 cup butter (no substitutes), softened
1-1 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
Food coloring
In a mixing bowl, combine butter, cream, and flour; mix well. 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 inch 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 for 7-9 minutes or until set. Cool on wire racks. For filling, in a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla. Tint with food coloring. Spread about 1 tsp. off filling over half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. **My aunt said she was in a hurry and just used frosting she bought at the store and they still tasted great!**Yield: 4 dozen
