These are yummy!

Cream Wafers:
1 cup softened sweet butter
1/3 cup whipping cream
2 cups flour
Sugar for coating both sides of cookies

Creamy Filling:
1/4 cup butter
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Few drops food coloring, optional

Cream the butter, sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. Add a few drops of food coloring, if using, until well blended. If needed add a few drops of water to make a spreading consistency if necessary.

Heat oven to 375 degrees F.

Beat together the butter, cream and flour until well blended. Cover and chill.

Roll 1/3 of the dough on a lightly floured surface 1/8-inch thick and cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds.

Transfer rounds with a spatula to heavily coated wax paper with sugar. Turn each round so that both sides are covered with sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Prick with fork.

Bake 7 to 9 minutes or just until set but not browned, remove from oven and cool. Sandwich cookies with creamy filling.
