Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Cream Wafer Cookies.
Step 1
To start your delicious cookie adventure, grab a mixing bowl and combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour with 1 cup of softened butter.
Step 2
Mix them together until the texture is smooth and everything is well blended.
Step 3
Next, add in 1/3 cup of heavy cream and stir until it’s fully incorporated.
Step 4
Once your dough is ready, cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for about an hour—this step is key for achieving the perfect texture.
Step 5
While the dough is chilling, take a moment to preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 6
After the hour has passed, dust your countertop with a little flour and roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8 inch thick.
Step 7
Use a round cutter to create 1 1/2-inch circles from the dough.
Step 8
Now, here’s a fun twist: transfer these circles onto a sheet of waxed paper that you’ve generously sprinkled with granulated sugar.
Step 9
Give each circle a little turn to coat both sides in that sweet sugar, then place them on an ungreased baking sheet.
Step 10
To add a charming touch, use a fork to prick each circle in four spots.
Step 11
Pop those cookies into your preheated oven and bake for 7 to 9 minutes, or until they’re lightly golden and smelling heavenly.
Step 12
Once they’re done, remove them from the oven and let them cool completely—this is the perfect time to enjoy the delightful aroma wafting through your kitchen.
Step 13
While your cookies cool, let’s whip up a creamy filling.
Step 14
In a separate bowl, blend together 1/4 cup of softened butter, 3/4 cup of sifted confectioners' sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 15
Once your cookies have cooled, it’s time for the fun part! Take one cookie, spread a generous layer of that luscious filling on top, and then gently place another cookie on top to create a delightful sandwich.
Step 16
Repeat this process until all your cookies are filled.
Step 17
And there you have it—your homemade cookie sandwiches are ready to be enjoyed! Perfect for sharing or savoring all on your own, these treats are sure to bring a smile to anyone’s face.
Step 18
Happy baking!.
