Cream Wafers and Frosting

You can make these as festive as you would like.

For Christmas I sprinkled with broken candy canes, and flavored frosting with peppermint.
The first time I had them, the frosting was made with Almond extract and was very good.

Cream Wafers
1 c. butter
2 c. flour
1/3 c. evaporated milk

In large bowl mix butter, beat in flour and milk. Form into a ball, chill 2 hours or until firm.
Preheat oven 375.
roll til 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 1 1/2 round cookies. Bake 7-9 minutes on ungreased cookie sheets before baking prick them with a fork at least 3 times. Sprinkle with sugar.

Wafer Frosting

1/2 c. softened butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 1/3 c powdered sugar
1/4- 1/2 tsp flavoring extract

Beat all together til smooth. Generously spread half of the wafers with frosting, top with the other wafers
