Prep: 45 minute
Bake: 10 minute per batch
Chill: 30 minute
Oven: 350 degrees F
3 C. unbleached flour
2 tsp. cream of tartar
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 C. unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 C. granulated sugar
2 Tbsp. milk
1 Tbsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 recipe Vanilla cream cheese
1. In medium bowl whisk together flour, cream of tartar,
baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
2. In large bowl beat butter with electric mixer on med.
speed for 30 seconds. Add granulated sugar and beat until
smooth and creamy. Beat in milk, vanilla. Beat in as much
flour mixture as you can with the mixer. Stir in remaining
flour mixture by hand. Dough will be soft.
3. Divide dough in half. Cover and chill dough about 30
minutes or until easy to handle. On lightly floured
surface, roll half the dough at a time until 1/8 inch thick.
4. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Using a 3-inch round
cookie cutter, cut out circles from dough. Using a 1-inch
round cookie cutter, cut the centers of half the dough
circles. Set on parchment paper. Re-roll and repeat until
dough is gone.
5. Sprinkle the dough circles that have the dough cut out
in the center with vanilla sugar. Bake cookies for 10-12
minutes or until golden brown. Let cookies cool on cookie
sheets for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to wire racks to
cool completely.
6. Spread bottoms of the solid cookies with about 1 1/2 tsp
of frosting of choice. Top each with one of the cookies
with the center hold, sugar side up. Refrigerate filled
cookies to store. Makes 24 sandwich cookies.

I filled them with peanut butter and jelly. >_> THEY WERE GOOD.
But they do not look at all like they're supposed to.
