Christmas Sandwich Cookies

Another childhood recipe- this one from my Aunt Pauline. The "cookies" are more of a rich pastry making them delicate and sweet. I like their small size and sparkle.

• Ready In: 1 hr 1 min
• Serves: 16
• Yields: 34 cookies

Ingredients

• cookie

• 2  cups flour

• 1⁄3 cup evaporated milk

• 1  egg yolk
• 1⁄4 cup margarine
• 1⁄2 teaspoon vanilla
•  red food coloring
•  green food coloring

Directions

1. Mix cookie dough thoroughly and chill. (I cut the margarine in with a knife like for pie crust.)
2. Roll 1/8" thick and cut with juice glass. Prick each 4 times with fork. Coat both sides with granulated sugar.
3. Bake at 350* just until lightly browned. (About 16 minutes.) Cool.
4. Prepare frosting, tinting half pink and half green. Put 2 cookies together with frosting.
