Oh, friends…. have I got a treat for you! This Cream Wafer Cookie Recipe is not only amazingly delicious, but I’m confident that’s it’s going to be your new favorite cookie. Uh-huh…. They make a great Valentine’s Day Dessert too.
I remember helping my mom make these every year for Christmas… I’m not sure why, but we only made them over the Christmas holiday. Hmmm… However, I’ve been thinking that they’re waaaaay too good to only be enjoyed once a year. IMHO, of course (wink).

And while I’m sharing this recipe for Valentine’s Day — the filling can be so versatile by adding additional flavors and/or colors. Delicious and options is a win-win for a cookie recipe, don’t you agree?
Let’s get to the sugary sweets — and make this yummy Cream Wafer Cookie Recipe. They’re a perfect sweet treat for Valentine’s Day. I love the pink, white and red.

I have made these for years and we just love them. They are so delicate and mouthwatering I can’t imagine anyone not liking them. I found the recipe in a church recipe book. We always made them about the size of a button and used a toothpick to poke four holes in them. I may not wait till Christmas this year. Thanks for sharing your recipe…it is a keeper that’s for sure.

I’ve been making these since I was I kid. My mom has the recipe that came from her Betty Crocker recipe cards from 1973. As I got older and making them on my own, I have found many cookie cutter shapes and use this recipe for all kind of occasions. Coloring the frosting accordingly. They are my favorite!

Butter or margarine? For the cookie batter. I know some older recipes call for margarine and in step one you say margarine though in the ingredients you say butter. Thanks for the insight.

How did you get your icing white? For the center!

Hi June. I didn’t add any food coloring — the icing is a white color naturally.
