CREAM WAFERS



Cream Wafers image

I found this recipe in the November-December 2006 issue of Simple & Delicious. Every time I make them, people feel as though they've died and gone to Heaven! They are scrumptious . . . buttery, flaky, and one bite only. Enjoy! Photo: http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Cream-Wafers

Provided by Sandy Young

Categories     Cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 c butter, softened
1 c all-purpose flour
3 Tbsp heavy whipping cream
granulated sugar
FILLING
1/4 c butter, softened
3/4 c sifted confectioners' sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 - 2 tsp heavy whipping cream
1 drop each red and green food coloring

Steps:

  • 1. In a mixing bowl, beat the butter, flour, and cream. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle.
  • 2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut with a floured 1 1/4 or 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Place 1 inch apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with sugar. Prick each cookie 3 - 4 times with a fork. Don't omit the pricking. If you do, the little cookies will puff up and not make neat cookies.
  • 3. Bake at 375 for 7 - 9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool.
  • 4. FILLING -- In a small bowl, combine the butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla, and enough cream to achieve desired consistency. Remove half to another bowl; tint one portion of filling with red food coloring and the other half with green. Carefully spread filling on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Yield: 2 dozen sandwich cookies.
  • 5. Sometimes I bake the cookies and freeze them; then I put the filling between them just before I'm going to serve them. Works just fine!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the wafers will taste. Look for fresh, unsalted butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality flour.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the wafers to hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a pastry bag or a zip-top bag to pipe the batter: This will help you to create uniform wafers.
  • Bake the wafers until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy texture.
  • Let the wafers cool completely before filling them: This will help to prevent the filling from seeping out.

Conclusion:

Cream wafers are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used to make other desserts, such as ice cream sandwiches or trifles. With a little practice, you can easily make these wafers at home using simple ingredients and a few basic techniques. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give these cream wafers a try!
