Cream Wafer Cookie Recipe

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.
