DIRECTIONS

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  2. 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.
  3. Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick and cut with a small round cutter. Roll cut circles in granulated sugar and place on ungreased cookies sheets. Prick cookies a few times with a fork.
  4. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cookies cool before frosting.
  5. To Assemble: Frost bottoms of half of the cookies and place the remaining cookies on top to make sandwich cookies.
