Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings

Wafers:

1 cup butter, softened
⅓ cup heavy whipping cream
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
⅓ cup granulated sugar for decoration

Filling:

¼ cup butter, softened
¾ cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 drops red food coloring

Directions

Make wafers: Mix butter, cream, and sifted flour with an electric mixer until well combined. Chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sprinkle white sugar over a sheet of waxed paper.
On a floured board, roll out 1/3 of the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut about 60 wafers with a 1 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Press both sides of each wafer into the white sugar, then transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Prick each cookie about 4 times with a fork.
Bake in the preheated oven 7 to 9 minutes. Let cookies cool.
Make filling while wafers are cooling: Blend butter, confectioners' sugar, egg yolk, and vanilla together with an electric mixer. Tint with food coloring.
Spread filling onto a cooled wafer and top with a second wafer. Press gently to seal. Repeat with remaining wafers and filling.

Recipe Tip

You may double the filling for a nicer-looking cookie.

Yabluchnyk (Ukrainian Apple Cake)

This is a delicious Ukrainian cake that is easy to prepare. You can also use this pastry base with pitted cherries, plums, or sliced peaches.

Herman Sourdough Starter

This is a recipe for a sweet sourdough starter known as Herman. There are a number of things that can be made from it. It's very important to NOT use metal utensils or bowls! It will take 15 days for the starter to mature and be ready to use the first time you make it. After that it can be ready for use every 10 days.

Cap Cai

Learn how to make cap cai, a yummy Chinese-Indonesian vegetable dish that you'll find in restaurants all over Jakarta. It's a great pescetarian dish, too. We usually serve it with brown rice and fried tofu. You can leave out the prawns and the taste is still great, or even substitute for chicken.

Spicy Lamb Patties

I was forced to create these when my favorite brand stopped making their lamb meatballs, which were a staple in my little food-obsessed world. They're even more scrumptious with a small side of plain yogurt with some mint and cumin stirred into it. Add rice or couscous and a green salad and you have a tasty, easy, somewhat elegant dinner! This recipe can also be used to make meatballs for frying, if you prefer.

Mango Habanero Salsa

Sweet, tangy, and definitely lots of heat! A great salsa to eat with flaxseed tortilla chips or your favorite chip.
