A classic recipe for light and crispy wafer cookies, perfect for layering with buttercream or enjoying on their own. This recipe is simple to follow and yields melt-in-your-mouth treats that are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup softened unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Filling:

  • ½ cup softened butter
  • 1 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • Optional: food coloring (red or green for festive cookies)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough:
    • Beat softened butter and sugar in a mixing bowl until light and fluffy.
    • Add heavy cream and vanilla extract, mixing well.
    • Gradually mix in the flour to form a smooth dough.
  2. Chill the Dough:
    • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. Roll and Cut:
    • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to ⅛-inch thickness.
    • Use cookie cutters to create desired shapes.
  4. Bake:
    • Place cut cookies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Dust with granulated sugar and prick with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
    • Bake for 7-9 minutes or until edges are lightly golden.
  5. Prepare the Filling:
    • Beat butter and confectioner’s sugar until fluffy.
    • Add cream and vanilla extract to adjust the consistency.
  6. Assemble:
    • Spread or pipe the filling onto cooled cookies and sandwich together.

Notes

  • Chilling the dough is essential to prevent spreading during baking.
  • Test baking times, as ovens vary; cookies should remain light in color.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
  • Customize the filling with flavors like lemon or hazelnut for variety.
