Swedish Waffle Sandwich Cookies

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Swedish Waffle Sandwich Cookies.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C). This is the perfect temperature for baking those delightful cookies!

2. Step 2

   In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of softened butter with the all-purpose flour. Cream them together until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Then, stir in the heavy cream to add a touch of richness. Once combined, scrape the dough into a ball and get ready to roll!

3. Step 3

   On a clean cutting board, sprinkle a generous amount of white sugar. Roll out your dough to about a 1/4-inch thickness on this sugared surface. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 24 circles. For a fun twist, take your rolling pin and gently roll each circle into a slightly oval shape. Place these lovely cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving about an inch of space between them.

4. Step 4

   Pop the cookie sheet into your preheated oven and bake for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges of the cookies turn a lovely light brown. Once baked, let them cool slightly on the sheet before transferring them to a cooling rack with a spatula. This is where the magic happens!

5. Step 5

   While your cookies are cooling, let’s whip up the filling. In a bowl, mix together 1/2 cup of softened butter, 3/4 cup of confectioners' sugar, the egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons of Swedish arrack punsch. Beat this mixture until it’s well blended and creamy, creating a luscious filling that will make your cookies sing!

6. Step 6

   Now comes the fun part—assembling your cookies! Take one cookie and spread about a rounded teaspoon of that delicious filling on the bottom. Then, place another cookie on top, bottom side down, to create a delightful sandwich. Repeat this process with the remaining cookies, and watch as they transform into a sweet treat!
