Directions:
Cream butter, extract and half and half. Add flour and mix well. Chill about 2 hours. Remove a third of the dough; keep remaining dough chilled. Preheat oven to 375*. Roll out a third of the dough to 1/8 inch thickness on a floured board. Cut with a 1 1/2 inch round cutter (or smaller if desired). Dip sides of the cookie in sugar, gently pressing in sugar. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet; prick with a fork several times. Bake 5 to 8 minutes or just until crisp. They should barely color; watch carefully to prevent burning. Cool.
Filling:
Blend butter, powdered sugar, egg yolk and vanilla. Tint filling to desired color. Spread filling between two cookies; press together gently. Keep refrigerated in a tightly covered container. These cookies freeze well. Yields: 5 dozen
