Ingredients List
- 1 cup salted butter
- 2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/3 cup cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar + 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- ==== Frosting ====
- ½ cup salted butter
- 1 ¼ cups powdered sugar
- 1 ½ tablespoon cream
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ½ tsp almond extract
- food coloring, if desired
Directions
1. Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in a medium bowl. Cut 1 cup of the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cream and form the dough into a ball. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. (Note: I do all of the mixing in my Kitchen Aid with the paddle attachment, and they turn out fine. The original recipe calls for the cutting in of the butter.)
2. Preheat oven to 375°F.
3. Dust a cutting board with the sugar/flour mixture. Roll dough out a third of the dough at a time to 1/8-inch thick and cut with a 1 1/2” circle cutter. Place circles on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Prick cookies three times with a fork, or gently just stamp (don't cut) with a shaped cookie cutter.
4. Bake at 375°F for 8-11 minutes until lightly browned on the edges. Let cookies cool before frosting.
5. Beat ½ cup butter until fluffy. Add the powdered sugar and beat until creamy. Beat in the vanilla and the 1 ½ T cream. Adjust cream and powdered sugar until frosting gets to a nice spreading consistency. Add food coloring, if desired. Scoop frosting into a sandwich or quart size zip top bag, and cut about a ¼ inch tip off.
6. Squeeze some frosting onto the bottoms of half of the cookies and place the remaining cookies on top to make sandwich cookies.
Makes about 30 cookies.
