These are called Dream Cookies because they do taste like some kind of delicious sweet dream. They are better than sugar cookies with the addition of custard powder. I made them in hearts for Valentine's Day but of course any shape will do.
Gather all the ingredients and mix, don't let the mess of a two-year-old make you too crazy!
I separated the dough into a few sections just to make working with it a bit easier. Keep the other sections on the fridge until you are ready for them.
Roll out to about 1/4" thickness. Cut out your cookies.
On to the sheet pan and into the oven.
They come out looking golden and beautiful!
Now, the original recipe from my Mom says to sandwich them together with jam in the middle, which is delicious and likely something you have on hand, but for our Valentine's party I made a strawberry buttercream frosting.
Just make a regular buttercream and add a couple tablespoons of jam. So yummy and nice colour for the party. Spoon it into a bag and cut off one corner if you don't have a piping bag.
Now the assembly line can begin! I topped a few with more buttercream just to use it all up.
And Miss R helped me with a few...
Perfect treat for the Valentine's Party!
