Prep Time 1 hour
Cook Time 9 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 egg yolk
  • granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 tsp heavy whipping cream
  • 1-2 drops food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Mix egg yolk with cream, then beat with softened butter and flour. (SEE HOW EASY SO FAR??)
  • Cover and refrigerate about an hour or until easy to handle. Take a nap. Or read a couple chapters of your current book. You deserve a break, no doubt.
  • Preheat oven to 375°.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out about a third of the chilled dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 1-1/4-in. round cookie cutter, or whatever cookie cutter floats your proverbial boat.
    Carefully dip cookies in granulated sugar, on both sides.
  • Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets.
  • Prick each cookie 3-4 times with a fork.
  • Bake 7 to 9 minutes or just until set but not brown; cool on wire racks.
  • Make creamy filling: In a small bowl, combine soft butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough cream to achieve desired consistency. Tint with food coloring if you wanna.
  • Carefully spread filling on bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. These cookies will keep a long time, but they don't usually last more than a day or two at our house.
