Creme Wafers



I had a little leftover creme fraiche, what to do? Creme wafers leapt to mind - the most tender of cookies - I want to call them biscuits in the British parlance. They are essentially tender, flaky pie pastry with sugar on top. There are fun options to the recipe - you can use a different spice with the sugar such as allspice, cloves, or "pumpkin pie spice". You could also sandwich two cookies together with buttercream, nutella, ganache...mmmm.

Roberta's Creme Wafers

Ingredients
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup creme fraiche or whipping cream
  • 2 cups (300 grams) all-purpose flour
  • Cinnamon sugar or sparkling sugar
Preparation



Place all ingredients except cinnamon (or sparkling) sugar in a food processor and mix until just blended.  Place dough in bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least one hour.  Flour a rolling surface and roll dough out to 1/4" thickness. Cut into desired shapes, using a fork, gently prick surface and then sprinkle with cinnamon or sparkling sugar.

Bake at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes
