Cream Wafers

Enjoy. They freeze well too. This recipe is the same as the one I make. You cannot imagine all the compliments you will get. I made 10 dozen of these cookies for the cookie table at my older son's wedding. It's a custom in northern Ohio to not only have the wedding cake on a separate table but to also have a table, or two, full of cookies made by the bride and grooms family members and friends. I usually tint the icing to reflect the occasion. My sons call these "Guacamole Cookies". That has been the family joke for years. At Christmas time I tint some icing pink and some green. The year I first started making these my older son tasted them and pronounced them his favorite. As it happens, I had the cookies on a plate with others and had only the green iced ones out. My younger son asked what they were and, of course, the older one told him they were "Guacamole Cookies" No matter what my husbnd and I said, we could not convince the younger one to just try the cookie. Being as stubborn as he, I did not put any more pink ones out that year when he was around. The next year the pink icing ones were out also and boy, was there a ruckas between the two when my younger one found out just how yummy they really are.

I was going to submit this recipe because my sister wants it and these are such delicious cookies. My mother and I have been baking these cookies for quite a few years now. They are a light flaky buttery cookie almost pastry like with a fluffy filling. They cookies are very delicate so it is important to use a small cookie cutter or they break very easily! I love PetesNina's Ideas to make the job less time consuming I am definatly going to give them a try next time I make them!

We make these - cut them in circles with a small glass and then put an Andes Mint in the center, topping with another circle. If you do the edges with a fork, they look really nice and are a big hit on any Cookie Tray.

I love these, I was reading the shortcuts by PetesNina and I have a couple of more shortcuts that I do. Rather than just leave the dough in a bowl I form it into a log wrapped in wax paper the diameter I want the finished product. When I cut them I put them on parchment paper and then sprinkle the sugar over the cookies, I only do one side if I'm going to fill them. With 5 kids and 3 of them really small so I need all the help I can for these :-). I will definitely use the piping suggestion for the next time since I tend to break them when I use the knife :-(

These deserve 10 stars!! Growing up in Pennsylvania, our family made these for cookie tables at all the family weddings. These were my favorites! I haven't made them since i was a kid. They are somewhat time consuming but well worth it. I asked some family member a few years ago for the recipe but nobody had made them in years and i guess i didn't call themby thr right name because nobody found the recipe, but Thanks to Zaar, i have it and will keep it in my own personal favorites file!! To be my family secret...hee hee hee. Thanks so much.
