Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.

  2. Cut the 6 tablespoons of cold butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.

  3. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of cream over the mixture and toss gently with a fork. Repeat with the remaining cream until all is moistened. Form into a ball.

  4. Roll the dough to slightly less than 1/8 inch thick. Cut into rounds with a 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter. Sprinkle one side of each round with sugar and place on an ungreased cookie sheet, sugar side up.

  5. Prick each round in four parallel rows with a fork.

  6. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until the edges just begin to brown. Remove to a rack and cool completely.

  7. Make filling as follows. Stir together the powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon softened butter, vanilla, food coloring, and enough of the 1 tablespoon cream to make it spreadable.

  8. Spread 1/2 teaspoon of the filling on the flat side of half of the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies, flat side down.
