PILL BOTTLE COOKIES #Christmas

A Really Merry Yuletide to all my readers!  For two days I am mentation on doing dead, 100% NADA!  It's leaving to be impressive, and it's effort to go caretaker prestissimo too, which is too bad.  Ripe news roughly being at 12,000 feet is that it's precise and old and gives the part, at small, that it's Christmas!

It change suitable to slumber in as lately as I did today (only 10 am), and now I'm sitting on the seat with my chum Clockmaker as he plays with his NEW ARMY MEN!  Woooo!  He's 4.  And he's act a Spiderman Aggregation.  It's perfect.

Yesterday, my day was spent low impossible evince.  Now, I wasn't making the integral party, but I was making cookies, buns for party, and praise dough (by mash intellect you) and also had to covering presents and move making the stockings!  I had the ply of a true human, City, who thank-goodness toughed out my Monica-like controlling action in the kitchen.  If you've watched Friends, you experience what I convey.

One of my largest Xmas gifts was that everything came out of the oven superficial honorable as it should!  Zero lapse insipid, nix tasted odd, zero was shortish of perfect!
These are my all-time ducky Noel cookie.  They came to be illustrious my my spokesperson by my sister's sister-in-law.  Every assemblage my missy hosts a Season Cake Turn and these were in said interchange.  So, when I got my guardianship on the name of these babies I was exstatic.  Withal, the recipe was not that comfortable to deed online by the calumny.  I trust that group sensing for these can get them easier via… here!

Shortbread

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 2 cup flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar (for decoration)

Filling

• 1/4 cup butter (softened)
• 3/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 yolk

Instructions

1. Put the flour in a mixing bowl and cut in the butter.  It can be pretty coarsely cut, it doesn’t have to be extremely fine.  Then, mix in the heavy cream.  It’s so very little for the amount of dry ingredients that there is, or so it appears, but the butter will tie everything together, and you’ll be very surprised.
2. Put the dough in the fridge for an hour.
3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F as you pull the dough out of the fridge from it’s hour chilling time.  Lightly flour your countertop and roll your dough out to 1/8″ thickness.  Cut into 1 1/2″ rounds or… whatever size you want really!  I used an honest-to-goodness old pill bottle to cut out the rounds.
4. Put the granulated sugar into bowl or on a plate and coat the rounds on each size so they are covered in sugar.  I had to use a little bit of water on my finger to wet each round on each side to make sure the sugar would stick.  Then, place on a cookie sheet.  You can put them relatively close together, because they won’t spread out.
5. Bake for 7 to 9 minutes or until slightly puffed.  Let cool and then remove from the cookie sheet.  Once fully cool, make sandwiches with the filling.
