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).
Cream Wafer Cookie Recipe
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?
Before sharing the recipe, I wanted to share something special with you. Today I’m participating in a Valentine’s event for a good cause — the fight against pediatric cancer! A number of bloggers are joining together to share a Valentine’s Day inspired recipe and encouraging YOU to participate in making a difference.
I’ll be sharing a Valentine’s Day Dessert here in a few minutes, but I wanted to share a few more statistics first.
Did you know that cancer is the #1 cause of death of children by disease in the U.S.? There are 40,000 U.S. children actively battling cancer right now. With less than 4% of the National Cancer Institute’s budget going to all childhood cancer combined, I knew it was important for me to get involved.
Help us make a difference by donating to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer! Our goal is to raise at least $3000 — and although we’ve already hit the goal, you can still give until March 1st and make an even bigger difference. And guess what? These three companies (our sponsors): Dixie Crystals, Mediavine and OXO have each pledged to match our donations raised through this campaign up to $3000!!! If you feel led to give, click below… every little bit helps!
