Ingredients:  
2 cups flour
1 cup butter
1/3 cup heavy cream (whipping)
1/4 cup butter
granulated sugar (for coating cookies)
1/4 cup Crisco shortening
1 tsp. vanilla
dash of salt
1 box powdered sugar ( approx. 4 cups)

Directions:
Directions:
Mix flour, 1 cup butter, and cream together. Shape into a ball. Divide in half. On a long piece of lightly floured waxed paper, roll out dough to 1/8" thick. Place waxed paper and dough on a flat cookie sheet. Repeat and stack cookie sheets. Cover top with saran wrap and chill. When cutting cookies, the dough needs to stay cold.
Take out 1 cookie sheet. Cut 1 1/2" circles or shapes (flower, or star) with cookie cutter. Place granulated sugar on a plate and coat both sides of cookie.
Place cookie on parchment -lined baking sheet, or ungreased cookie sheet. Using a fork, prick 3-4 times on top. Bake at 375º for 9-10 minutes. Cookies should be set, but not browned. These are now very delicate and break easily. Remove cookies and cool on
rack.
FROSTING: Beat shortening, vanilla, salt, and powdered sugar together until light and fluffy. Tint. Pipe frosting onto bottom of 1 cookie. Place another cookie, face up. Barely press them together, if at all.
