I love these cookies and remember them fondly from my childhood. They are dangerously addictive and you will need to give some away to avoid eating them all!
Sweet Filling and Flaky Wafer Cookies!
I am a shortbread cookie lover. I really appreciate the combination of sweet and salty. These cookies are not too sweet, which allows for the sweetness of the creamy filling to explode in your mouth!
They are delicate and elegant looking cookies and versatile to many holidays and occasions. Light pastels for Spring and Easter, reds and pinks for Valentine’s Day, or green and red for Christmas.
This recipe is simple to make and hard to make mistakes with. Encrusting the cookies with sugar and making the sandwiches are the most time consuming part. The final product is worth it!
Be cautious not to make the wafer cookies too thick, rolling them out to 1/8 inch thick. I like the cookies to be no larger than 1 and 1/2 inch rounds. If you do not have a cookie cutter that is 1 1/2 inch thick like this one, you can easily use a standard size shot glass.
