Swedish Tea Cookies Recipe

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Cut 1 cup of the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the cream and form the dough into a ball.

Roll dough out 1/2 inch thick and cut with a small round cutter. Roll cut circles in granulated sugar and place on ungreased cookies sheets. Prick cookies a few times with a fork.

Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 8 to 10 minutes. Let cookies cool before frosting.

To Assemble: Frost bottoms of half of the cookies and place the remaining cookies on top to make sandwich cookies.

To Make Buttercream Frosting: Beat 1/2 cup of the butter until fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar. Beat in the evaporated milk and the vanilla. Adjust milk and confectioners' sugar amounts to get buttercream to a good spreading consistency.
