Mint Pastry Wafers

Directions

In a large mixer bowl, combine the flour, butter and whipping cream.

Beat on low speed, scraping the bowl often, for 1 to 2 minutes until well mixed.

Cover; refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees; grease cookie sheets.

Roll out the dough, half at a time, on a well floured surface to ¼ inch thickness.

Cut out with 2-inch round cookie cutters.

Dip both sides of each cookie in sugar.

Place half of the cookies 2 inches apart on the cookie sheets.

Place 1 mint in the center of each.

Top with another cookie; press together round the edges with your fingers.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are very lightly browned.

Cool for 1 minute on the cookie sheets.

Remove from pans to cool completely.
