Pastel Cream Wafers

These cookies were a favorite in my family growing up, they are from a Betty Crocker Cookie cook book. Serena

COOKIE:
6 T cold butter (no substitutions)
1 cup flour
3-4 T cream
sugar

FROSTING:
1 cup sifted powdered sugar
1 T softened butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 drop food coloring
1 T cream (you might need a little more)

Cut the 6 T of butter into flour in mixing bowl until the size of small peas. Sprinkle 1 T of cream at a time into mixture. Gently toss with flour and push to the side of bowl. Repeat until all is moistened. Form into a ball and then roll dough about 1/8" thick on a floured surface. Use a small cookie cutter, the size of a spice cap ( I like to use either a little heart of flower cookie cutter), to cut dough. Dip one side of the dough into sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet. Prick with a fork in 4 parallel rows. Bake at 375 for 8-10 min, or until edges are barely getting a light brown. Stir Frosting ingredients together and spread a good amount of it on a non sugar side of a cooled cookie, then place another cookie on top (sugar side up) making a little sandwich and enjoy!

On the cookies, is it 3 to 4 T of cream or three quarters of a Tablespoon?

These cookies are a favorite at our house...especially since there aren't any eggs in them.
