Swedish Tea Cookies

I generally make these at the major holidays, especially Christmas. They are very easy, but somewhat time consuming. (Time includes cutting out cookies and frosting time)

Ingredients

Directions

1. Cut butter into flour until it resembles cornmeal.
2. Stir in cream until combined.
3. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface.
