Prep time: 30 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 50 min
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup butter, softened; 1.5 cups all-purpose flour; 6 tablespoons heavy cream; white sugar for dusting; 0.5 cup butter, softened; 0.75 cup confectioners' sugar; 1 egg yolk; 2 teaspoons Swedish arrack punsch

Ingredients

1 cup butter, softened
1.5 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons heavy cream
white sugar for dusting
0.5 cup butter, softened
0.75 cup confectioners' sugar
1 egg yolk
2 teaspoons Swedish arrack punsch

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Step 2

In a bowl, cream together 1 cup butter and the flour until smooth and creamy. Stir in heavy cream. Scrape dough into a ball.
Step 3

Sprinkle the white sugar on a cutting board. Roll out the dough to about a 1/4-inch thickness on the sugared surface. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, cut dough into 24 circles. Using the rolling pin, roll each circle into a slightly oval shape. Place cookies on an ungreased cookie sheet about an inch apart.
Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the cookies get very lightly brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool slightly on cookie sheet; then transfer them to cooling racks using a spatula.
Step 5

To make the filling, mix together 1/2 cup of butter, confectioners' sugar, egg yolk, and Swedish arrack punsch in a bowl. Beat until mixture is well blended and creamy.
Step 6

To assemble, spread about a rounded teaspoon of filling on the bottom of one cookie and place another cookie, bottom side down, on the filling to form a sandwich. Repeat with the rest of the cookies.
