Instructions
Make the Cookies
-
Put all ingredients for the dough into a large mixing bowl and knead with a hand mixer or machine.
-
Give it an additional knead by hand to really incorporate all ingredients into a dough.
-
Wrap the dough and let it rest in the fridge for 30 to 45 minutes.
-
Roll the dough out – not too thin though.
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
-
Cut the cookies with a cookie cutter and place them onto a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be about 2 baking sheets.
-
Bake for 10 minutes (second baking sheet a little shorter) and remove the cookies from the baking sheet immediately to cool.
Make the Creme Filling
-
In a mixing bowl, whip the butter until really creamy.
-
Add the confectioners’ sugar, milk and vanilla extract and mix well.
-
Put the cream into a pastry bag and cut a hole into the end.
Assembling the Cookies
-
Place half of the cookies with the bottom side up in front of you.
-
With the pastry bag, give a good amount of cream onto each of these cookies.
-
Put the other half of the cookies on top and press slightly down so the filling spreads to the rim.
-
Keep the finished cookies in an air tight container.
Tip: If kept in the fridge, the cookies taste especially good!
