I generally make these at the major holidays, especially Christmas. They are very easy, but somewhat time consuming. (Time includes cutting out cookies and frosting time)
Ingredients:
2 cups flour
1 cup butter
1/3 cup light cream or 1/3 cup half-and-half
1/4 cup sugar, for dusting cookies
Directions:
1. Cut butter into flour until it resembles cornmeal.
2. Stir in cream until combined.
3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
4. Roll to 1/8 inch thickness.
5. Cut into circles using a 2 inch round cookie cutter.
6. Before baking, prick with a fork and sprinkle with sugar.
7. Bake at 375 F for 8-10 mins on an ungreased cookie sheet.
8. Place two cookies together (sandwich-style) using you favorite butter cream frosting tinted to celebrate the season.
9. Note: I like Vanilla Buttercream Frosting Vanilla Butter Cream Frosting,
