Simply Iced Wafers

2000

2 cups softened margarine or butter
2/3rds cup heavy cream
4 cups of SIFTED flour (sift, then measure)

Blend the margarine or butter and heavy cream. Then work in the flour.
Chill dough (at least one hour).

Roll dough out 1/8" thick on floured board. Keep the dough evenly rolled out. Cut in circles about 1-1/2" in diameter.
(Use only one third of dough at a time and keep the rest refrigerated.)
Place the rounds on heavily sugar-coated waxed paper; turn so both sides are sugared.
Put on ungreased pans. Prick with fork about 4 times each. (If you don't, the cookie will have "blisters". OK that way too.)
Bake at 375 o F for 7 to 9 minutes. Just slightly tuning brown. Cool.

Put cool cookies together with filling.

Filling

1/2 cup soft margarine or butter
1 1/2 cups of SIFTED confectioner's sugar.
2 egg yolks and 2 teaspoon Vanilla.

Blend smooth. Add more sifted confectioners sugar as needed to make a spreadable icing.

For Christmas cookies, tint half the icing green and half red.
Not sweet - a favorite with the non-chocolate crowd.
