Ingredients
Shortbread cookies:
- 1 cup soft butter
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2 cups sifted flour
Frosting:
- 1/4 cup soft butter
- 3/4 cup sifted powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla
For coating the cookies:
- Granulated or crystallized sugar
Directions
- **Make the cookie dough:**in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, or in a large bowl using your hands, mix together the ingredients for the cookies until it’s fully combined. Chill for at least two hours.
- **Prepare the cookies:**once chilled, take 1/3 of the dough out at a time and roll it out on a surface lightly covered with flour until it’s about 1/2 inch thick. Cut out circles of dough using a cookie cutter or something of the sort, like a cap. Coat both sides of the circles in the sugar and poke each circle 3-4 times with a fork.
- Bake the cookies: bake on an un-greased baking sheet for 7-9 minutes at 375 F. Let cookies cool before frosting.
- Make the frosting: In a small bowl, use a spatula to mix together the frosting ingredients. Spread 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of frosting (depending on the size of your cookies) between two cooled cookies. Enjoy right away or store in the fridge (they’re even better cold).
