Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 c All-purpose flour
3/4 c Butter or margarine,
-softened
1/2 c Heavy cream
Granulated sugar
-----FUDGE FILLING-----
1/4 c Butter or margarine
2 oz Unsweetened chocolate
1 c Powdered sugar
1 t Vanilla or dark rum
2 tb Hot coffee or water

Preheat oven to 375'F. Line cookie sheets with
parchment paper or leave ungreased. Place flour in
large bowl. Using electric mixer, blend 3/4 butter
into flour until it forms pea-size pieces. Drizzle
cream over the butter mixture; toss by hand just until
mixed (mixture will look curdled).

Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; press
together to form ball. (If dough is too soft to
handle, cover and refrigerate until firm.) Roll out
dough, 1/3 at a time, to 1/8" thickness on lightly
floured surface. Cut out with 1 1/4" round cutter. Dip
top of each dough circle in granulated sugar. Place
sugared side up, 2" apart, on prepared cookie sheets.
Pierce each cookie with fork.

Bake 9-11 minutes or just until edges are very lightly
browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Prepare Fudge
Filling. Spread filling on bottoms of half the
cookies. Top with remaining cookies, bottom sides
down, forming sandwiches.

Makes about 10 dozen sandwich cookies.

FUDGE FILLING: Melt 1/4 cup butter and chocolate in
small bowl over hot water. Stir until smooth. Blend in
powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in coffee until
filling is spreadable, but not too soft.
