Icelandic Cream Wafers
When our Son and Daughter #3 (in law) decided to serve their favourite cookies and milk instead of wedding cake at their wedding, I had the simple task of ordering J’s Dream Cookies from Gunn’s Bakery where they are known as Diplomat cookies. My friend Victoria though made Jen’s favourite from scratch which as I understand it is a time consuming task. She and a friend have made these together for years and I think this is wise advise. If you have a time-consuming job to do, share the task with a friend to make the time pass more pleasantly and then share the fruits of your labour.
Cookie:
1 c butter
2 c flour
1/2 c whipping cream
Cut butter into flour with pastry cutter or 2 knives. Add whipping cream until dough forms. Roll out to 1/4″ thickness. Cut out 1″ circles (spice caps work nicely). Prick with fork and sugar both sides. It doesn’t say in recipe but I imagine that you place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 375F for 7-9 minutes.
Icing:
1/4 c butter
3/4 c icing sugar
1 t vanilla
red and/or green food colouring
Beat ingredients together and spread between 2 wafers forming a mini cookie sandwich.
