Ice Cream Wafers Recipes

Steps:

• Mix flour and 1 cup of butter or margarine thoroughly. Stir in whipping cream and mix well. Chill 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Roll dough 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured board. Cut into 1 1/2 inch rounds. Transfer to waxed paper heavily sprinkled with sugar, turning to coat both sides. Place on un- greased baking sheet. Prick in 4 places with fork. Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until slightly puffed. Put two cooled cookies together with filling.
• To Make Filling: Blend 1/4 cup soft butter, 3/4 cup sifted confectioners' sugar, 1 egg yolk, and 1 tsp. vanilla. If desired, tint with food coloring.

Steps:

• Line the inside of an 8-inch round (3-quart) baking pan with plastic wrap, leaving a 3-inch overhang of wrap.
• Spread 1 pint of ice cream across the bottom of the prepared pan. Line the edge of the pan with a single layer of upright chocolate wafer cookies, pressing them all the way to the bottom so they sit firmly in the ice cream. Repeat with another circle of chocolate wafer cookies nestled against the first row. Arrange 2 circles of vanilla wafer cookies followed by 2 circles of strawberry wafer cookies. Fill the center hole with 2 to 3 strawberry wafer cookies.
• Spread the remaining ice cream over the top, tapping the pan on the counter lightly to makes sure the ice cream fills all the nooks and crannies (the ice cream should be quite soft--almost melted is okay). Pull the plastic wrap up and over to cover the top and freeze at least overnight and up to 2 weeks.
• When ready to serve, remove the cake from the freezer and let sit for 10 minutes to make unmolding easier. Beat the cream with the sugar until stiff peaks form. Put 1 cup of the whipped cream in a pastry bag fitted with a medium star tip.
• Unwrap and invert the cake onto a serving dish. Frost with the remaining whipped cream, then use the whipped cream in the pastry bag to pipe stars on top and around the bottom of the cake. Decorate with the sprinkles.

Steps:

• Combine the 1 cup butter, cream and sifted flour. Mix well and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• On a floured board, roll out 1/3 of the dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut with 1 1/2 inch round cookie cutter. Transfer rounds to waxed paper heavily covered with white sugar. Turn rounds so that both sides are coated with sugar. Place rounds on ungreased baking sheets and prick each round with a fork about 4 times. Repeat with remaining dough.
• Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 7 to 9 minutes. Let cookies cool then put 2 cookies together with the filling.
• To Make Filling: Blend the remaining 1/4 cup of butter, the confectioners' sugar, egg yolk and vanilla together. Tint with food coloring, if desired. You may double the filling for a nicer looking cookie.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, beat butter, flour and cream. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour or until easy to handle. , Preheat oven to 375°. On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to 1/8-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 1-1/4-in. round cookie cutter. Place 1 in. apart on ungreased baking sheets. Sprinkle with sugar. Prick each cookie 3-4 times with a fork. , Bake 7-9 minutes or until set. Remove to wire racks to cool., In a small bowl, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and enough cream to achieve desired consistency. Remove half to another bowl; tint one portion of filling with red food coloring and the other half with green. Carefully spread filling on bottom of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies.

Steps:

• Melt together chocolates and butter in a medium bowl over simmering water, stirring with a wooden spoon. When smooth, add the salt and sugar, stirring well. Remove from heat. Beat in eggs, then fold in flour until mixed. Let cool, roll in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• When dough is firm, cut off a large piece. Dust a work surface with sugar and roll dough 1/4 inch thick, sprinkling more sugar as needed to prevent sticking. Cut into desired shapes and bake on prepared sheet for 11 minutes. Cool wafers on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients thoroughly in a bowl. Allow to stand for at least 3 hours. Butter some heated wafer irons (these are not waffle irons), by rubbing them with a small knob of butter wrapped in a piece of muslin. Pour 1 tablespoon of the batter on to the lower plate of the irons and close the upper plate tight. Cook the wafer on both sides for a few minutes over hot charcoal or over a low gas flame. When cooked, remove carefully from the irons.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix flour, 1 cup butter and the whipping cream with spoon. Cover and refrigerate about 1 hour or until firm.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Roll one-third of dough at a time 1/8 inch thick on lightly floured surface. (Keep remaining dough refrigerated until ready to roll.) Cut into desired shapes with 1 1/2-inch cookie cutters. Generously cover large piece of waxed paper with granulated sugar. Transfer cutouts to waxed paper, using pancake turner. Turn each cutout to coat both sides. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Prick each cutout with fork about 4 times.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or just until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet to wire rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, mix all Creamy Filling ingredients until smooth. Add a few drops water if necessary. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon filling between bottoms of pairs of cookies.
