1 c. soft butter
1/3 c. whipping cream
2 c. Gold Medal flour (any flour will do)
Granulated sugar

FILLING:

1/4 c. soft butter
3/4 c. confectioners' sugar
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix butter, cream and flour thoroughly. Chill for 1 hour or more. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll dough (1/3 at a time), 1/8 inch thick on floured surface. (Keep remaining dough chilled.) Cut into 1 1/2 inch circles. I have also cut into heart shapes or Easter egg shapes for special occasions.

Place rounds in a tray of granulated sugar. Coat both sides with sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Prick each cookie with a fork 4 times. Bake 7-9 minutes. Do not brown. Cool and frost.

To frost cookies, mix butter, confectioners' sugar and vanilla until smooth. Filling can be tinted with food coloring (pink and blue for a baby shower, yellow, green and blue for Easter, etc.). Frost a cookie on top and place another cookie on top, sandwich style. These are delicate, pretty little cookies. Very good for tea and special occasions. They will be gobbled up!
