Instructions:
-
Prepare Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the butter, flour, and whipping cream thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Refrigerate the dough for about 20 minutes to firm it up.
-
Roll and Cut:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- On a floured surface, roll out the dough as thin as possible.
- Use a small cookie cutter, preferably a fluted one measuring about 1-1 1/2 inches in diameter, to cut out the cookies.
-
Decorate:
- Dip each cookie in sugar, opting for colored sugar for holiday-themed cookies.
- Using a fork, prick the tops of the cookies to create a decorative pattern resembling little round crackers.
-
Bake:
- Place the cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 7-9 minutes, or until they turn light golden brown. Be careful not to overbake them!
-
Prepare Creme Filling:
- In another bowl, mix together the remaining butter, powdered sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth and creamy.
-
Assemble:
- Once the cookies are cooled, spread or pipe the creme filling onto the bottom side of one cookie.
- Top with another cookie, pressing gently to sandwich them together, ensuring the bottoms are against the filling for a neater presentation.
-
Chill:
- Refrigerate the assembled cookies to set the filling.
- Note: Due to the raw egg yolk in the filling, ensure your eggs are fresh. However, there’s rarely any issue with this.
