Swedish Butter Cookies

For the cookies:

Cream flour and butter, mix in the whipping cream. Cover dough and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Divide dough into fourths and roll 1/8-1/4 inch thick. Cut with a 1.5-inch round cookie cutter.

Now this is important: prick each cookie with the tines of a fork many times. This is to keep the dough from rising too much in the oven. You want a flatter cookie because these will be made into cookie sandwiches.

Dip each cookie in sugar and place on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 7-9 minutes or until lightly browned.

For the frosting:

Cream butter and sugar, mix in vanilla and egg yolk. You can tint your frosting with food coloring. Spread a small amount onto a cooled cookie and top with another cookie. Repeat until all cookies are frosted.
