SWEDISH CREAM WAFERS

1 cup soft butter
½ cup whipping cream
2 cups flour
granulated sugar
creamy filling (recipe below)

Mix thoroughly butter, cream, and flour. Cover and chill.

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Roll about 1/3 of dough at a time 1/8-inch thick on floured cloth-covered board (keep remaining dough chilled). Cut into 1 ½ inch rounds.

Transfer rounds with spatula to a piece of waxed paper that is heavily coated with sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Prick rounds with fork about 4 times each.

Bake 7-9 minutes or just until set, but not browned. Cool. Put cookies together in pairs with creamy filling.

Makes about 5 dozen cookies.

Creamy filling:

Cream 1/4 cup soft margarine, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and 1 tsp. Vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Tint with a few drops food color. Add a few drops water if necessary for proper consistency.
