Swedish Creme Wafers

Janet

1 cup soft butter                                                          1/3 cup whipping cream

                                                                                    2 cups flour

Mix thoroughly butter, cream, and flour.  Cover and chill dough.  Roll 1/3 dough at a time to 1/8” thick between 2 sheets wax paper.  Cut in 1 ½” (small) circles.  Dip each in granulated sugar to coat both sides.  Place on ungreased baking sheet.  Prick rounds with fork 4 times. 

Bake at 375 F for 7-9 min. until set and ever so lightly brown; cool.  Put cookies together in pairs with creamy filling.

Creamy Filling:

Cream: ¼ cup soft butter                                1 egg yolk

¾ cup powdered sugar                        1 tsp. vanilla

Tint with a few drops of food color.  (Yellow is best as the egg yolk is already yellow.)  You can add a few drops of water if necessary for proper spreading consistency.
