Vanilla Filling
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 1 ¼ cups of powered sugar
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk
Chocolate Buttercream
- 8 ozs softened unsalted butter

- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 cups of confectionery sugar

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Beat sugar & butter until light and fluffy.
- Add egg yolk, mix till combined.
- Stir in flour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Shape dough into 1 inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Flatten cookies with a fork dipped in flour or a decorative stamp.
- Bake for 10-14 minutes or until light brown. Remove from pans and let cool on wire rack.
- Cream all Vanilla Filling ingredients and spread between two cookies.
- If you prefer chocolate, make the chocolate buttercream recipe- Cream the butter and cocoa. Add remainder of ingredients and blend till smooth. Spread between two cookies. Makes about 30 cookies.
Notes
- The chocolate buttercream recipe makes enough for a 9 inch double layer cake, so store the remainder in the refrigerator and use for cupcakes, etc. It will last for months.
