From: NDMolly

Cookies:
1 cup butter
1/3 cup whipping cream
2 cups flour
Sugar (separate)

Filling:
¼ cup softened butter
About 3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
Milk
Red and green coloring

For cookies: Mix butter, cream, and flour. Chill. Divide into thirds. Roll 1/3 to 1/8 inch thickness on floured board. Cut with 1½ inch round cutter. Place on waxed paper heavily covered with sugar and flip. Place on ungreased sheet. *** each 4 times with fork. Bake at 350 for 7-9 minutes, cool for 1 minute and then remove from sheet. (Too soon and they will fall apart, too late and they will stick to sheet.)

For filling: Cream butter, sugar, and vanilla; slowly add milk until desired consistency. Divide and add coloring. Fill 2 cookies with filling. Makes approximately 4 dozen.
