2 c. all-purpose flour
1-1/2 c. butter, divided
1/3 c. whipping cream
2 c. sugar
2-1/3 c. powdered sugar
1 t. vanilla extract
several drops of red food coloring

Combine flour, one cup butter and cream; mix well. Chill for one hour. Roll out dough to 1/8-inch thick; cut out cookies with a 1-1/2 inch round cookie cutter. Carefully dip both sides of cookies into sugar; place on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Pierce cookies lightly across top with a fork. Bake at 375 degrees for 7 to 9 minutes. Cool completely. Beat remaining butter for 30 seconds; gradually beat in powdered sugar, vanilla and food coloring. Sandwich cookies in pairs with frosting. Makes about 5 dozen.
