This is a traditional family Christmas treat in the Harward household. It is the ultimate in comfort food with the most basic (if not particularly healthy) ingredients. Enjoy them with your family during the holiday season!
Cookie:
1 cup soft butter
2 cups sifted flour
1/3 cup heavy cream
Combine butter, flour & cream. Mix until balls form. roll out on flowered surface. Cut into 2" rounds. Coat with white sugar. Place on cookie sheet & prick 3 times with a fork to create a grid pattern. Bake at 425 degrees for 7-8 minutes. The cookies should be very light. Do not brown them.
Frosting:
1/3 cup butter (soft)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
Green and Red food coloring
Mix butter, sugar & vanilla. (This takes a while to thoroughly mix.) Add red food coloring to half and green food coloring to the rest.
Sandwich frosting between two cookies. (It ususally takes 2-3 batches of frosting per batch of dough.) Serve.
Merry Christmas!
