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?
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.
Perfect Valentine’s Day Dessert
Cream Wafer Cookies Recipe
Ingredients
Wafer Cookies
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1/3 cup whipping cream
- sugar
Filling
- 3/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla
- food coloring, optional
Instructions
Wafer Cookies
- Mix flour, margarine and cream. Cover and refrigerate (at least 30 minutes)
- Heat oven to 375. Roll about 1/3 of dough at a time, approximately 1/8 inch thick on floured cloth-covered board (keep remaining dough refrigerated).
- Cut into 1-1/2" rounds. Coat both sides with sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheet. Prick each round with fork 3-4 times.
- Bake 7-9 minutes, until set but not brown. Remove from cookie sheet and allow to cool. Put cookies together in pairs with filling (see below).
Filling
- Mix powdered sugar, softened butter and vanilla until smooth and fluffy. Beat in a few drop of water, if necessary. Filling should have a smooth, spreading consistency. Add food coloring to filling for different holidays.
Notes

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.

Lisa says
Great recipe! I made it according to your recipe and the taste is great! Everyone in the family likes it, it makes me happy. Thank you
Kathy pitcher says
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!
Marlee says
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.
CarolT says
Best cookie I’ve ever made.
Kelly Rowe says
Wonderful news to hear that you loved them. They’re one of my all-time favorites. Thanks so much for letting me know, Carol. Cheers!
